Question

there are 40 passengers in a bus some with rupees 3 tickets and remaining with rupees 10 tickets the total collection from these is pessenger 295 find how many passengers have tickets worth rs.3

Answer 1

Let the number of passenger with Rs 3 ticket be x
So, number of passenger with Rs. 10 tickets = (40 - x)
So,
3x+10(40 - x)=295
3x + 400 - 10x = 295
3x-10x = 295 - 400
-7x = - 105 
-x = -105/-7
-x = -15
x = 15
therefore number of passengers with Rs 3 ticket = 15
