Remember that a^x = b can be rewritten as logₐ b = x
So 10^x = 97 is just:
log₁₀97 = x
or simply
x = log 97
The maximum possible number of people on the train is 183.
Given that a train has 11 train cars, and at least 11 passengers are in each train car, and no 3 neighboring train cars have more than 50 passengers altogether, to determine what is the maximum possible number of people on the train, the following calculation must be done:
- 50/3 = 16.66
- 16 + 17 + 17 = 50
- 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 = X
- 16 x 4 + 17 x 7 = X
- 64 + 119 = X
- 183 = X
Therefore, the maximum possible number of people on the train is 183.
