Question

on a school picnic a grp of students agree to pay equally for the use of a full boat On a school picnic, a group of students agree to pay equally for the use of a full boat and pay rs.10each.if there had been 3more students in the group,each would have paid rs. 2less.how many students were there in the group.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi,

1 ) Let the number of students in a

group = x

amount each student paid

for boat = Rs 10

Total amount paid by the group to

the boat = Rs10x -----( 1 )

2) If 3 students joins the group then

the total students = ( x + 3 )

Fare of each student = ( 10 - 2 ) = Rs 8

Now total amount paid by the new

group = Rs (x + 3 ) 8

= 8x + 24 ----( 2 )

According to the problem given ,

( 1 ) = ( 2 )

10x = 8x + 24

10x - 8x = 24

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

Therefore ,

Number of students in the

boat = x = 12

I hope this helps you.
