At the final stop there were 25 passangers alighted the bus. How many passangers at the first bus leave the interchange ? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There a bus leave the interchange.
Let x = original no. of passengers as the interchange
:
Write an EXPRESSION for each statement:
:
at the bus stop 1/4 passengers alighted and 12 passengers boarded,
x - x + 12
simplifies to x + 12
:
at the next bus stop 1/2 passengers alighted and 13 passengers boarded. [x+12] + 13 x + 6 + 13 x + 19
:
At the final stop there were 25 passengers alighted the bus. x + 19 - 25 = 0 x -6 = 0 x = 6
3x = 8(6)
3x = 48
x = 48/3
x = 16 passengers first when bus leaves the interchange ?
