On a certain bus-route, the charge for each adult is 20k and for each child 10k. On a Friday morning the conductor collected a total of N66 as fares. If 120 of the passengers were children, how many of the passengers were adults?​

Let's denote the number of adult passengers as A and the number of child passengers as C.

Given that each adult pays 20k and each child pays 10k, we can set up the equation:

20A + 10C = 6600 (converting N66 to kobo)

We also know that there were 120 child passengers, so C = 120.

Substituting C = 120 into the equation:

20A + 10(120) = 6600

20A + 1200 = 6600

Now, solve for A:

20A = 6600 - 1200

20A = 5400

A = 5400 / 20

A = 270

So, there were 270 adult passengers.
