In a particular year, a total of 50,127 students studied in two of the most popular host countries when traveling abroad. If 8383 more students studied in the most
popular host country than in the second most popular host country, find how many students studied abroad in each country.
There were students who studied abroad in the most popular host country

Respuesta :

Let x be the number of students in the SECOND most popular host country.
Let x + 8383 be the number of students in the most popular host country.

x + (x + 8383) = 50127
2x = 50127 - 8383
x = 41744/2
x = 20872

therefore, the number of students in the SECOND most popular host country is 20872 and the number of students in the most popular host country is 29255.
