Amy and Jed are among the 35 people, who are standing in a line, one behind the other, waiting to buy movie tickets. The number of people in front of Amy plus the number of people behind Jed is 24. If there are 15 people behind Amy, including Jed, how many people are in front of Jed

29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total people in the line = 35

Number of people behind Amy = 15

⇒Number of people in front of Amy   = Total people - (Amy and people behind Amy)

= 35-15-1

= 19

According to the question,

Number of people in front of Amy + Number of people behind Jed =24

⇒ 19 +  Number of people behind Jed =24

⇒  Number of people behind Jed =24 -19 = 5

Then, Number of people are in front of Jed = 35 - (Jed and people behind Jed)

= 35-(5+1)

= 35-6=29

Hence, there are 29 people are in front of Jed.
