Answer 1

STEP 1: Define x:

Let the number of people who take Rs 500 be x

Therefore the number of people who take Rs 300 is (200 - x)

..................................................................................................................................

STEP 2: Form Equation:

The total sum is Rs 8000

500x + 300(200x) = 80000

...................................................................................................................................

STEP 3: Solve x:

500x + 300(200- x) = 80 000

500x + 60 000 - 300x = 80 000

200x = 20 000

x = 100

...................................................................................................................................

STEP 4: Find the number of person who took each price:

Rs 500 = x = 100

Rs 300 = 200 - x = 200 - 100 = 100
