Question 975032: A Bus is travelling with 52 passengers. When it arrives at a stop y passengers get off and 4 get on. At the next stop one third of the passengers get off and 3 get on. There are now 25 passengers. Find y. Please help!! thanks Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 52=number
52-y+4
(2/3) (52-y+4)+3=25 ;; (1/3) get off, so (2/3) left
(2/3)(52-y+4) =22
52-y+4=33
-y=-23
y=23
52 started
23 got off
29 left
4 got on
33
11 get off next stop
22
3 get on
25
y is 23
Important when (1/3) get off that (2/3) remain.
