1. if you are adding 12 people to the remaining 6 car, you are adding 72 people. those 72 people came from 3 cars, which means there were 24 on each car. 24 people per car x 9 cars = 216 people.
2. 216 Passengers
3. Your answer is in the question.. 12 passangers added to each of 6 cars That's 72 passengers from 3 cars, So 9 cars have 24 passengers each. There would be 216 passengers on the train.
