Let the number of students in senior school be a.
The total amount charged from students of junior school = 325 × 80
⇒ 26000
The total amount charged from students of senior school = 400 × a
⇒ 400a
The total amount charged from both the schools = (a + 80) × 352
⇒ (a + 80) × 352 = 2600 + 400a
⇒ 400a - 352a = 28160 - 26000
⇒ 48a = 2160
⇒ a = 45.
The number of students from the senior school who went on the excursion is 45.
