Primary 100 sh each
Secondary 200 sh each
University 400 sh each.
One day, money got from university was twice that of primary sale while four times as many as tickets sold to the secondary as to primary
If total collection of the tickets was sh 22000, find the number of tickets which were sold. Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, greenestamps:Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
The money from sales of university tickets was twice the money from sales of primary tickets; and the price of a university ticket was four times the cost of a primary ticket. That means the number of primary tickets sold was twice the number of university tickets. Then the given information tells us
x = # of university tickets
2(x) = 2x = # of primary tickets
4(2x) = 8x = # of secondary tickets
The total price of the tickets sold was 22000:
So the numbers of tickets sold were
x = 10 university tickets
2x = 20 primary tickets
8x = 80 secondary tickets
