during a social event for children 1000 tickets were sold in total the tickets for adults were sold at rs 85 and for children at the cost of rs 45 and a total amount of rs 72000 was collected how many tickets of each type were sold

Let x represent the quantity of child tickets sold and y represent the quantity of adult tickets sold

Child (x) : $45 each

Adult (y) : $85

Cost equation: 45x + 85y = 72000

Quantity equation: x + y = 1000

45x + 85y = 72000 → 45x + 85y = 72000

-45 (x + y = 1000) → - 45x - 45y = - 45000

40y = 27000

y = 625

Quantity equation: x + y = 1000 → x + (625) = 1000 → x = 375

Answer: 375 child tickets and 625 adult tickets

44x
