Question

tickets for a cinema costs £4 and £5. There were 223 customers who paid a total of £936. How many bought £4 tickets

Answer 1

The number of people who bought £4 tickets are 139.

How to illustrate the equation?

Let £4 tickets be x

Let £5 tickets be y.

Therefore based on the information given, this will be:

x + y = 223 ..... i

4x + 5y = 936 ..... ii

From equation i

x = 213 - y

Put this into equation ii

4x + 5y = 936

4(213 - y) + 5y = 936

852 - 4y + 5y = 936

Collect like terms

y = 84

This implies that the number of £5 tickets is 84.

Recall that x + y = 223

x + 84 = 223

x = 223 - 84

x = 139

The number of £4 tickets is 139
