The airlines A 380 transporting 555 passengers, which is 139 more than a similarly set − up 747.

Concept Used:

Convert the phrase ‘The airlines A 380 transporting 555 passengers, which is 139 more than a similarly set − up 747’ into an equation.

Calculation:

Let the number of Passengers transporting 747 is P

Condition: The airlines A 380 transporting 555 passengers, which is 139 more than a similarly set − up 747.

Equation: $\text{P}+139=555$

Solve : $\begin{array}{l}\text{P}+139=555\\ \text{P}+139-139=555-139\text{[}\text{Subtract}\text{139}\text{from}\text{each}\text{side}\text{]}\\ \text{P}\text{=}\text{416}\text{[}\text{Simplify]}\end{array}$

Thus, the number of passenger for 747 is $\text{416}$
