Question

Ankitesh and his friend Jimmy together sold tickets for a charity show for rupees 3800. If Ankitesh sold 11/8 times as much as Jimmy sold, how much did each of them sell the tickets for?​

Answer 1

Let Jimmy sold the tickets for Rsx.

so,Ankitesh sold it for 1 whole 3/8 Times of x =11/8x.

ATQ

x+11/8 x=3800

8x+11x/8=3800 (add by taking lcm)

8x+11x=3800×8

8x+11x=30400

19x=30400

x=30400/19

=1600.

therefore Jimmy sold the tickets for Rs 1600

and Ankitesh sold the tickets for Rs11/8×1600

=Rs2200
