Question

Ankitesh and his friend Jimmy together sild tickets for a charity show for₹.3800. if ankitesh sold it at a price which is 1 3/8 times of the price at which Jimmy sold it, how much did each of them sell the tickets for?

Answer 1

Let Jimmy sold ticket with P ₹
so, ankhilesh sold ticket 1 3/8 P ₹ = 11P/8 ₹
now,
ankhilesh sold ticket price + Jimmy sold ticket price = 3800₹
P + 11P/8 = 3800
19P/8 = 3800
P = 1600

hence , Jimmy sold ticket with 1600 ₹
and ankhilesh sold ticket with 2200₹
