Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given hotel bill = ₹4800
Let initially, number of people = [tex]x[/tex]
Initial Bill of each person = Hotel bill divided by number of people = [tex]\frac{4800}{x}[/tex]
4 people are added to the hotel stay.
i.e. new number of people = [tex]x+4[/tex]
New bill becomes ₹200 less for each person.
New bill for each person = [tex]\frac{4800}{x}[/tex] - 200
Hotel bill remains the same i.e. ₹4800 = New bill for each person multiplied by new number of people.
[tex]4800 = (\dfrac{4800}{x}-200) (x+4)\\\Rightarrow 4800 = \dfrac{4800}{x}\times x -200\times x + \dfrac{4800}{x}\times 4 - 200\times 4\\\Rightarrow 4800 = 4800 -200 x + \dfrac{4800}{x}\times 4 - 800 \\\Rightarrow 800 = -200x+\dfrac{19200}{x}\\\Rightarrow 4 = -x+\dfrac{96}{x}\\\Rightarrow x^2+4x-96=0 \\\Rightarrow x^2+12x-8x-96=0\\\Rightarrow x(x+12)-8(x+12)=0\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 8}, x= -12\ not\ possible[/tex]
