The organizers of an essay competition decide that a winner in the competition gets a prize of Rupees 100 and a participant who does not win gets a prize of Rupees 25. The total prize money distributed is Rupees 3000. Find the number of winners, if the total number of participants is 63.
Given :
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 3,000.
The total number of participants $= 63$.
To do :
We have to find the number of winners.
Solution :
Let the number of winners be x.
This implies, the number of people who did not win $= 63 - x$
Therefore,
$Rs. x(100)+ Rs. (63-x)(25) = Rs. 3000$
$100x + 63(25) -25x = 3000$
$(100-25)x + 1575 = 3000$
$75x = 3000 - 1575$
$75x = 1425$
$x=\frac{1425}{75}$
$x=\frac{57}{3}$
$x=19$
The number of winners is 19.
