Question

today my elder brother and some of his friend will go to a fair .so grandfather divided equal amount of money among them we are observing that if the number of friend is less by 2 then each of them would get rupees 18 again if the number of friend is more by 3 then each of them would get rupees 12 let us calculate and write the number of person going to the fair and how much money did grandfather divided among them in total​

Answer 1

answer-

let the total people going to fair be x

now, if there were 2 less [ x-2 ] then each would get = 18

so, total money = 18 *  [x-2]

= 18x - 36

now, if there were 3 more [ x+3 ] then each would get = 12

so, total money = 12 * [x+3]

= 12x + 36

now, 18x - 36 = 12x + 36

18x - 12x = 36 + 36

6x = 72

x = 72/6

x = 12

so, total people going to fair = 12

now, total money = 12x+36 [ here, we can consider any observation which is either 12x+26 or 18x-36, in both the cases we will get same answer ]

so, total money = 12x + 26

total money = 12*12 + 36

total money = 144+36

total money = 180

hope it helps

have nice day
