Answer 1

Answer:

Sales of tickets last year = 85000 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the total sale of tickets of cricket match in a particular stadium is increased by 5% this year and the total sales of tickets this year is 89250 tickets.

Let the sale of tickets last year be x. So, the required expression is given by;

         ⇒  x + 5% of x = 89250

         ⇒  x + 0.05*x = 89250

         ⇒  x(1 + 0.05) = 89250

         ⇒  x = 89250 ÷ 1.05 = 85000

Therefore, sales of tickets last year = 85000 .
