due to 20% decrease in the price of ticket of bus ,the number of passengers increased.Due to this increment income has increased by 20% . if number of passengers before increment are 650 what would be the number of passengers after increment?

• If there are x passengers after increment of passengers, and Rs 1 was earlier ticket price and Rs 0.8 is new ticket price, then
  650*1*1.2 = x*0.8
  x= 650*12/8 = 325*3= 975

• Let x is the number of increased passengers & per ticket price = 1 rupee
  Now according to the question,
  New per ticket price = .80 rupee
  So hiked increment = 780 rupees (120% of 650)
  Therefore,
  (650 + x ) * .8 = 780
  520 + .8x= 780
  .8x = 260
  X = 260/.8 = 375
  Hence total passengers = 650 + 375 = 975
