60 pupils sold some tickets. Each boy sold 3 tickets and Each girl sold 5 tickets. In the end the boys sold 4 more tickets than the girls. How many more boys than girls were there.
Let number of boys be x and girls be y
x+y=60.........................1
Each boy sold 3 tickets = They sold 3x tickets
Each girl sold 5 tickets. So they sold 5x tickets
the boys sold 4 more tickets than the girls.
3x -5y=4......................2
x+y=60.........................1
3x -5y=4......................2
Multiply eq 1 by 5 and add to eqn 2
5x+5y=300
3x-5y=4
8x =304
x = 38
x+y=60
38+y=60
y=60-38= 22
So, there were 38 boys and 22 girls.
You could do the rest of it
