Question

24 children sold tickets for charity. Each ticket costs 5$. Each boy sold 5 tickets and each girl sold 3 tickets. The boys collected 40$ more than girls.
1. How many girls were present
2. How many tickets sold altogether

Answer 1

Answer:

Total Children=24

Each ticket costs=5$

Boy=5

Girl=3

Boys collected 40$more than girls

Let no.of boys=X

no.of girls=24-X

Therefore,

Xx5x5=24-Xx3x5+40

25X=360-15X+40

40X=400

X=10

1. No.of Girls=14

2. Boys=10×5=50

Girls=14×3=42

Therefore,

Total Tickets=50+42

=92
