Question 1027506
<i>The members of the Historical Society sold a number of tickets to the Easton town picnic and raised $240 from the sale. </i>


What ticket price?



<i>If the Society has lowered its price by $2 a ticket, the members would have needed to sell 20 more tickets to earn the $240.</i>


How many tickets sold is variable, different values, in both situations.



The main question is, how many tickets actually were sold.  Give this a variable, maybe n.  Cost or actually REVENUE is the same for the actual and for the conditional parts.


TICKET PRICE DONE:
{{{(240/n)(dollars/ticket)}}}


CONDITIONAL LOWER PRICE:
{{{240/n-2}}} dollars per ticket


CONDITIONAL HOW MANY TICKETS SOLD:
Twenty more of them.
{{{n+20}}}


THE CONDITIONAL REVENUE FOR SALES:
{{{(n+20)(240/n-2)}}}


Reminder:  The actual revenue is the same as the hypothetical revenue, according to the problem description.  Both are for $240.
{{{highlight((n+20)(240/n-2)=240)}}}
