19 people get off the train at the first stop. 17 people get on the train. Now there are 63 people on the train.
The number of people who got on has nothing to do with the answer. They want to know how many people were on the train ‘to begin with’.
That answer is simply 63 + 19, which I hope is 82.
Doc, you gave an absolutely honest answer and I appreciate you for that! It took me a page of paper to figure it out, and then I finally saw my error in calculating.
THANK YOU!
