To find:-

• Cost of a regular-price ticket.

Solution 1:-

Let the regular - price of ticket be Rs.M

${\underline{\underline{\bold\red{ATQ:-}}}}$

$\rightharpoonup\sf 36 = 60\% \: of \: M \\\\\\\rightharpoonup\sf 36 = 60/100 \: of \: M \\\\\\\rightharpoonup\sf 36 = 3/5 \: of \: M \\\\\\\rightharpoonup\sf 36 = 3M/5 \\\\\\\rightharpoonup\sf 3M = 36 * 5 \\\\\\\rightharpoonup\sf 3M = 180 \\\\\\\rightharpoonup\sf M = 180/3 \\\\\\\rightharpoonup\sf M = {\boxed{\sf\green{Rs.60}}}$

${\underline{\therefore{\sf\blue{Cost \: of \: a \: regular-price\: ticket= Rs.60}}}}$

$\rule{200}{2}$

Solution 2 :-

Let the cost of a regular-price ticket be Rs.M

A/Q,

$\hookrightarrow\sf 60\% \: of \: M = 36 \\\\\\\hookrightarrow\sf 1\% \: of \: M = 36/60 \\\\\\\hookrightarrow\sf 100\% \: of \: M = (36 * 100)/60 \\\\\\\hookrightarrow\sf 100\% \: of \: M = {\boxed{\sf\pink{60 }}}$

$\huge\bold\green{Answer}$

According to the question we have given :-

°•° Tickets with special price = ₹ 36

°•° On 60% of regular price tickets

As, said in question we have to find cost of regular price tickets , So lets find it :-

Let the cost of regular price tickets = X

So, according to the question by using given data

$\tt \implies36 = 60 \%\: \: of \: \: m \\ \\ \tt \implies36 = \cancel\frac{60}{100} \: of \: \: m \\ \\ \tt \implies36 = \frac{3}{5} \: \: of \: \: m \\ \\ \tt \implies36 = \frac{3m}{5} \\ \\ \tt \implies3m = 36 \times 5 = 180\\ \\ \tt \implies \: m = \: \cancel\frac{180}{3} \\ \\ \tt \implies \: m = 60$

Hence, the cost of regular price tickets is ₹60
