first, complete your question. Q.The organizers of an essay competition decide that a winner in the
competition gets a prize of Rs 100 and a participant who does not win
gets a prize of Rs 25. The total prize money distributed is Rs 3000.
Find the number of winners, if the total number of participants is
63.

solution.
​​​​​​​ Let the no. of winners be x
& the no. of runner ups be 63-x
ATQ,
100(x) + 25(63-x) = 3000
100x + 1575 - 25x = 3000
75x + 1575 = 3000
75x = 3000 - 1575
75x = 1425
x = 1425/75
x = 19
No. of winners = 19
No. of runner ups = 44.

your question's answer is no. of winners = 19
