Question:

The ratio of smokers to nonsmokers on a particular flight was 2 : 3. Smoking passengers represented five more than 1/3 of all the passengers abroad. How many passengers were on that flight?

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

S : N = 2 : 3

If T is total Passengers, then Number of smoker = S = $\frac{2}{5}$ × T

Given statement: Smoking passengers represented five more than 1/3 of all the passengers abroad.

S - 5 = $\frac{1}{3}$ × T

Putting the value of S

$\frac{2}{5}$ T - 5 = $\frac{1}{3}$ T

( $\frac{2}{5}$ - $\frac{1}{3}$ ) × T = 5

$\frac{6 - 5}{15}$ T = 5

T = 75
