Total Prize for winner=100x (x winners)
Total Prize for non-winners= (63-x)25
Given total Prize=3000
100x+(63-x)25=3000
Solve..........
X+21= 40
X=19
No.of winners=19
Total Prize for non-winners= (63-x)25
Given total Prize=3000
100x+(63-x)25=3000
Solve..........
X+21= 40
X=19
No.of winners=19
Tip:Better to check the answer with the equation to prevent careless mistakes
