Some students planned a picnic. The budget for food was Rs. 500. But 5 of these failed to go & thus the cost of food for each student increased by Rs. 5. How many students attended the picnic?
Let the original number of students be x.
Total budget of the food = Rs 500
Original budget of each student =
If 5 students failed to go to the picnic, then
Number of student who went to the picnic = x – 5
New budget of each student =
New budget of each student – Original budget of each student = Rs 5 (Given)
Number of students who went to the picnic = x – 5 = 25 – 5 = 20
