Answer:

lets say that total number of winners are x

then who didnt won are 63-x

total prize money is 3000

so we make an equation

100x+25[63-x]=3000

100x+1575-25x=3000

75x=3000-1575

75x=1425

x=19

total winners are 19

winners who get ruppees 25 are 63-19=44

The organizers of an essay competition decide that a winner gets a prize of rs.100 and who doesn't wins get a prize of rs.25 the total prize money distributed is 3000 find the no. Of winners if no. Of participants is 63

Let x be the number of winners.

\huge { \boxed{ \underline{ \sf{ \purple{Answer:- }}}}}

✿Then the number of participants who do not win is given as (63 – x)

✿The prize money given to x winners = Rs ( 100x)

The prize money given to (63 – x) participants is = Rs 25(63 – x)

✿According to the given data, the total prize money distributed = Rs 3000

Therefore, 100x + 25(63 – x) = 3000

4x + (63 – x) = 120

3x + 63 = 120

x = 19

✿Therefore, the number of winners is 19.
