Answer:
The number of tickets sold in USA is 10000
The number of tickets sold in Korea is 10000
Explanation:
Total number of tickets = 20,000
Let the number of tickets sold in USA be x
And the tickets sold in Korea be 20,000 – x
Total amount collected = 3,50,000$
Each ticket in USA = 15$
Each ticket in Korea = 20$
15x + 20(20000 – x) = 350000
15x + 400000 – 20x = 350000
-5x = 350000 – 400000
-5x = -50000
x = -50000/-5
x = 50000/5
x = 10000
Hence, number of tickets sold in USA is 10000
If the number of tickets sold in Korean is 20000 – x
= 20000 – 10000
= 10000
Therefore, the number of tickets sold in Korea is 10000
