Question 608360: I need help coming up with a equation and solution to this problem:
More than 20 and less than 50 people went to a concert. The price of each ticket was the same whole number of dollars, and the total cost was $377. How many dollars did each individual ticket cost?
Thanks,
David R Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
In order for the ticket price for all tickets to be the same whole number of dollars, the number of people who attended the concert must evenly divide $377. The prime factorization of 377 is 13 X 29. Only one of those factors is in the interval 20 < x < 50, namely 29. So 29 people went to the concert and the ticket price was $13.
