Math Problem: How Many People Were on the Train to Begin with?

by Fabrizio Nava

Published February 12, 2018

Answer: 65

Calculating the answer is simpler than it seems: 19 people getting off the train can be represented by -19, and 17 people getting on the train as +17.

-19 + 17 = 2, meaning that there was a net loss of two people. If there are 63 people on the train now, that means there were 65 to begin with.
