![Let space the space initial space number space of space tourists space be space straight x
cost space per space tourist equals 1200 over straight x
3 space members space opt space out
hence space cost space per space tourist equals fraction numerator 1200 over denominator straight x minus 3 end fraction
difference space equals 20
fraction numerator 1200 over denominator straight x minus 3 end fraction minus 1200 over straight x equals 20
1200 straight x minus 1200 straight x plus 3600 equals 20 straight x squared minus 60 straight x
20 straight x squared minus 60 straight x minus 3600 equals 0
straight x equals 15 space or space minus 12
15 space tourists](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/3aba0e99099f005f6725926519fa2fb6.png)
