On an occasion of great festivities a considerable number of townspeople
banded together for a day's outing and pleasure. They pressed into service
nearly every wagon in the place, and each wagon was to carry the same num-
ber of persons. Half-way ten of these wagons broke down, so it was necessary
for every remaining wagon to carry one more person. Unfortunately, when
they started for home, it was found that fifteen more wagons were in such bad
condition that they could not be used; so there were three more persons in
every wagon than when they started out in the morning.
How many persons were there in the party?
