Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 19.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Given,

Prize given to the winner = Rs 100

Prize given to the participants who did not win = Rs 25

Total prize money = Rs 3000

Total number of participants = 63

Let the number of winners = x

Then,

Total no. of participants = Number of winners + Number of participants who did not win

63 = x + Number of participants who did not win

63 - x = Number of participants who did not win

Number of participants who did not win = 63 - x

Total Amount given to the winners

= Number of winners × Amount given to 1 winner

= x × 100

= 100x

Total amount given to the participants who did not win

= Number of participants who did not win × Amount given to 1 participant

= (63-x) × 25

= 63 × 25 - x × 24

= 1575 - 25x

Total prize money = Total amount given to winners + Total amount given to participants who did not win

3000 = 100x + 1575 - 25x

100x + 1575 - 25x = 3000

75x + 1575 = 3000

75x = 3000 - 1575

75x = 1425

x = 1425/75

x = 19

Therefore, the number of winners = 19
