Two class train

The ratio of first-class to second-class train fares between two stations is 3:1, and the ratio of passengers travelling first-class to second-class is 1:50. If a total of $1,325 was collected on a particular day, how many dollars were collected from second-class passengers?

Final Answer:

B =  1250 USD

Step-by-step explanation:

a:b=3:1 n1:n2=1:50  m=1325 USD  m = n1 a+n2 b  a=3b n2 = 50 n1  m = n2/50 3b + n2 b  B = n2 b  m=3/50 B+B 1325=3/50 B+B  53B=66250  B=5366250=1250  B=1250=1250 USD
