One box office of a movie theater sold 86 tickets more than the other one. How many tickets were sold by each box office, if the total number of tickets sold was 792?

353 and 439 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets sold = 792

Let Box office one sold tickets be x

Box office two sold tickets = x + 86

Total tickets sold = x + (x+86) = 792

= 2x + 86 = 792

= 2x = 792 - 86

= 2x = 706

x = 353

One box office sold 353 tickets, As per given statement that "second box office sold 86 more tickets"

Box office two sold 353 + 86 = 439 tickets

Therefore, one box office sold 353 and other box office sold 439 tickets.

Box office A would have sold 439 tickets and Box office B would have sold 353 tickets.

792 - 86 = 706

706 : 2 = 353

353 + 86 = 439

439 + 353 = 792
