engers

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the train = 70 miles per hour

Total capacity of the train = 400 passengers

Capacity of train filled = 54%

We need to find the number of people on the train. This will amount to 54% of the 400-passenger train.

`\begin{gathered} Number\text{ of passenger on the train = }54\text{ \% }*\text{ total capacity of train} \\ Number\text{ of passenger on the train = }(54)/(100)*\text{ 400} \\ \\ Number\text{ of passenger on the train = 216} \end{gathered}`
