Question

there are 40 passenger on the bus.some has ticket worth 3 RS and remaining worth is 10 rupees.the total collection of their passenger is rupees 295 find how many passengers have worth 3 rupees .

Answer 1

Let the number of passengers bought Rs 3 tickets = x

and the number of passengers bought Rs 10 tickets = y

Given, there are 40 passengers in a bus

=> x + y = 40 ...............1

Again, total collection from the passenger is Rs 295

=> 3x + 10y = 295 .........2

Multiply by 10 in equation 1, we get

10x + 10y = 400 ............3

Now, subtract equation 3 and 2, we get

10x + 10y - 3x - 10y = 400 - 295

=> 7x = 105

=> x = 105/7

=> x = 15

So, the number of passengers bought Rs 3 tickets is 15
