Question

total of Rs 80000 is to be distributed among 200 persons as prices . a priceis either 500 or 300 find the number of each type of prizes

Answer 1

Total amount = 80,000
Number of persons = 200

Assume there are X numbers of persons who received the price of 500RS. and (200-x) number of persons who received the price of 300 Rs.

80,000 = 500X + (200-X) 300

80,000 = 500 X + 200*300 - 300X

800 = 5X + 2*300 - 3X

800 = 5X + 600 - 3x

Now we have to find the value of X..

800 = 5X-3X +600

800-600 = 2X

200 = 2X

X = 100


So the prizes of Rs 500 are given to 100 persons and the prizes of Rs 300 are given to 100 persons.


Hope it helps you..
