Question

At a cricket test match 27 of the spectators were in a covered place while 15000 were in open. Find the total number of spectators


Open in App
Solution

Let the total number of spectators be x.

Therefore,

number of spectators in covered place=27x

number of spectators in open place=15000 [Given]

So we have

number of spectators in covered place+ number of spectators in open place=total number of spectators

27x+15000=x

x-27x=150007x-2x7=150005x7=15000x=15000x75x=21000

Hence, total number of spectators is 21000
