Answer:

Rs. 32.77

Step-by-step explanation:

At a loss of 24% sale price = Rs. 30
At a loss of 17% sale price = ?

----------

Finding cost price:

Sale price = cost - loss

If cost = x:

x - 24% = 30
0.76x = 30
x = 30/0.76
x ≈ 39.48

SP at a loss of 17%:

39.48 - 17% = 39.48*0.83 ≈ 32.77

Let the number of House cats sold be H.

Let the combined amount of cats sold be C.

William bought some tickets to see his favorite singer. He bought some adult tickets and some children’s tickets, for a total of

Fantom [35]

Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.
