A baseball team sells tickets for two games. The ratio of sold tickets to unsold tickets for the first game was 7 : 3. For the second game, the ratio was 13 : 2. There were 240 unsold tickets for the second game. How many tickets were sold for the first game?

For the second game, the ratio of sold to unsold tickets was 13:2, and 240 tickets were unsold. The ratio 13:2 means 2/15 of the tickets were unsold.

So if x is the number of tickets available,

%282%2F15%29x=240
x=240%2815%2F2%29=120%2A15=1800

For the second game, the ratio of sold to unsold tickets was 7:3, which means 7/10 of the tickets were sold for the first game. Presumably the same number of tickets was available for sale for the first game as for the second.

(7/10)*1800 = 7*180 = 1260

ANSWER: 1260

As presented in the post, the problem is posed INCORRECTLY and can not be solved properly.


If to change it, then it can be solved.

If to edit it, then it can be solved.

If to make assumptions that are not in the problem, then it can be solved.


But in the form as it is given, it can not be solved.


Throw it to the closest garbage bin.
Or in the farthest - on your choice.
