It will take 45 weeks.25 weeks to gain back the 500 dollor he spent and 20 to make 400 dollor from it
It is important to do the
calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this
problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
= 550/4
= 137.5
So
55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future
you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from
outside.This is the simplest way of solving such
problems.
y/x = k
6.4/4 = 1.6
11.2 / 7 =1.6
16/10 = 1.6
20.8 /13 =1.6
This is a direct variation and the constant is 1.6
y=1.6x
P + s = 200......p = 200 - s
20p + 15s = 3400
20(200 - s) + 15s = 3400
4000 - 20s + 15s = 3400
-20s + 15s = 3400 - 4000
-5s = - 600
s = -600/-5
s = 120 <=== there were 120 standard tickets sold
p + s = 200
p + 120 = 200
p = 200 - 120
p = 80 <=== there were 80 premium tickets sold
