Solution

Given, total number of passengers =40
Let the number of passengers having worth Rs. 3 be x.
Then, the number of passengers having tickets worth Rs.10=(40-x)
Total collection from passengers =Rs. 295
According to the question,
3x+10(40-x)=295
3x+40010x=2957x=2954007x=105x=105×(17)x=15
Hence, the number of passengers having tickets worth Rs. 3 is 15.
