Answer 2

The price of the entrance ticket per person is Rs. 5.25

Given,

No. of boys who went to see circus = 5

Amount with 4 boys = Rs. 4

Amount with 5th boy = Rs. 1 + cost of ticket.

To Find,

The cost of the entrance ticket per person.

Solution,

We can solve this problem using a simple method.

We have been given that the 5 boys went to see the circus.

That is, 5 entrance tickets for the circus would have to be bought.

Now, we have been given that 4 of them had Rs. 5 each.

Also, the 5th boy had Rs. 1 more than the price of the entrance ticket.

Our objective is to find the cost entrance ticket per person.

Let the cost of each entrance ticket per person be x.

Then, the amount with the fifth boy = Rs. 1 + x.

Further, we have been given that with the amount that all the 5 boys had, they were only able to just buy 5 tickets.

That is, there was no extra money left after pooling up their money and buying the tickets.

⇒ the price of 5 entrance tickets = (4 × Rs. 5) + (Rs. 1 + price of one entrance ticket)

⇒ 5x = 20 + 1 + x

⇒ 5x - x = 21

⇒ 4x = 21

⇒ x = 21 ÷ 4

⇒ x = 5.25

Hence, the price of the entrance ticket per person is Rs. 5.25
