​

Answer 1

The answer is 18490.

Tickets of 200 were sold=18510; 20 more than the tickets of 100.

Total sold=37000.

Tickets of 200 sold=18490.

Answer 2

Answer:

110 tickets of Rs 100 were sold in the theater

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1st type of tickets = Rs 200

Cost of 2nd type of tickets = Rs 100

Given that the sale of 1st type of ticket is 20 more in numbers than the sale of 2nd type of tickets.

So let the number of 2nd type of tickets sold = x

Then  the number of 1st  type of tickets sold = x + 20

200 ( x + 20 ) + 100 x = 37,000

200 x + 4000 + 100 x = 37000

300 x = 37000 - 4000

300 x = 33000

By Dividing by 300 on both sides, we have

x = 110

Therefore, 110 tickets of Rs 100 were sold.
