Question

plz help me with this word problem

Answer 1

Let these tickets be x and y.

Let value of one x ticket =₹250

and one y ticket =₹100


A/Q

x+y=65 (as total tickets sold)

y=65-x


and

250x+100y=4500

250x+100(65-x)=4500

250x+6500-100x=4500

150x=4500-6500

150 x =-2000

x=-2000/150

x= -13.333....

Since numbers of tickets can't be in negative as well decimals, we take x=13 .

So, number of ₹250 tickets =13

Number of ₹100 tickets =65-13

=52
