Question

A train has 3 passenger cars and each car has 4 columns of seats and each column holds 40 passengers. If one of the cars has 15 people standing in addition to all of the sitting passengers, and the rest of the cars are full without anyone standing, how many passengers are on the train?

Answer 1

1 column=40p
4 column=40×4=160p
1 car =160p
3 cars=160×3=480p
1 car=15p standing
Total p=480 +15p=495p




so the answer is 495...hope this helps
