Question

At a cricket test match 2/7 of the spectators were in a covered place while 15000 were in open.Find the total number of spectators​

Answer 1

Answer:

total spectators= 21000

Step-by-step explanation:

7-2=5

5/7×x=15000

x=(15000×7)/5

=21000

checking

2/7×21000=6000

15000+6000= 21000

so correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the total no. of spectators be x

Then no. of spectator in covered place be 2x/7

then 2x/7 + 1500=x

2x/7-x= -1500

2x- 7/7 = -1500

-5x/7= - 1500

- 5x= -1500x7

-5x = - 10500

x = 10500/5= 2100

Total no. of spectators be 2100
