i hope my answer is correct

Answer 2

Let the numbers of winner be x.

Then, the number of participants who didn’t win = 63 – x

Total money given to the winner = x × 100 = 100x

Total money given to participant who didn’t win = 25×(63-x)

According to the question,

100x + 25×(63-x) = 3,000

⇒ 100x + 1575 – 25x = 3,000

⇒ 75x = 3,000 – 1575

⇒ 75x = 1425

⇒ x = 1425/75

⇒ x = 19

Therefore, the numbers of winners are 19.
