Answer:
(i)Agree
(ii)50p ticket = 28
Rs.1 ticket = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
passengers with 50 p ticket = x
amount received from them = Rs.0.5x
passengers with Rs.1 ticket = 70-x
amount received from them = Rs70-x
total amount received = 0.5x + 70 - x = 56
-0.5x = -14
x = 14/0.5
x = 28
no. of passengers with 50p ticket = 28
no. of passengers with Rs.1 ticket = 42
