Question

Out of 144 passengers travelling in a double- decker bus, 5/12

of the passengers are sitting on the lower
deck and the rest of the passengers are on the upper deck. If 1
4
of the passengers are standing on the
upper deck, then how many passengers are sitting there?

Answer 1

70

Explanation:

5/12 X 144 = 720/12 = 60 passengers are sitting on lower.

rest of passengers = 144 - 60 = 84 are on upper.

14 on upper are standing on upper, then 84 - 14 = 70 are sitting there (on upper).
