First, We Have Find What Two Fifths Of 150. So, Divide 150 By Five To Find 1/5 Of 150.

150 : 5 = 30.

Now, To Find 2/5 Of 150, Multiply 30 By Two. So:

30 * 2 = 60

So, 60 = 2/5 of 150.

So, subtract 60 from 150.

150 - 60 = 90.

So, now we need to add 35, because 35 people get back on.

90 + 35 = 125

There are 125 passengers when the train leaves.
