There are 160 passengers on a train.
25% of the passengers get off at a station.
How many passengers remain on the train?
Answers
Answer:
(25/100) × 160
1/4 × 160
= 40
Answer:
46
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 63 people now on the train after the first station. It represents a combination of new and old passengers.
The 17 people that get on the first station are new passengers and are not considered to be ”on the train to begin with.”
The 19 people that get off were old passengers but are no longer on the train.
If none got off, the number of people that were on the train originally to begin with
= 46 + 19 or a total of 65.
Now there are 63 people on the train. How many were on the train to begin with?
Means how many old passengers (those that were on the train to begin with) remain on the train.
Solution:
People that are on the train now 63 minus 17 = 46 (remnants of those who were on the train to begin with)
Final Answer: 46
