Answer 2

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of tickets of 50rs = x

:. no. of tickets of 100rs = x+10

total amount received = 25000rs

which is also equal to (no. of 100rs tickets * 100rs) + (no. of 50rs tickets * 50rs)

= 50x + 100(x+10)

:. 25000 = 50x + 100x + 1000

:. 25000 = 150x + 1000

:. 150x = 25000 - 1000

:. 150x = 24000

:. x = $\frac{24000}{150}$

:. x = 160

:. number of 50rs tickets = x = 160
