उत्तर
Let the number of people attended the party be x.
| Number of people | 120 | x |
| Number of tips | 8 | 12 |
As the number of trips increases, number of people also increases.
∴ They are in direct proportion.
`(x_1)/(y_1) = (x_2)/(y_2)`
`120/8 = x/12`
x = `(120 xx 12)/8`
= 180
180 people attend the party in 12 trips
