Answer:

Number of student tickets = 325

Number of adult tickets = 404

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of student tickets

y be the number of adult tickets

According to given statement;

x+y=729     Eqn 1

3x+5y=2995    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(x+y=729)

3x+3y=2187    Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(3x+5y)-(3x+3y)=2995-2187

3x+5y-3x-3y=808

2y=808

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{808}{2}\\y=404

Putting y=404 in Eqn 1

x+404=729

x=729-404

x=325

Hence,

Number of student tickets = 325

Number of adult tickets = 404

Sudhir bought an almirah for RS 13600 and spent RS 400 on its transportation . He sold it for RS 16800 . find the his gain perce
oee [108]

Answer:

His gain percent is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to find the percentage gain of the business.

We need the following parameters;

The cost price which is the sum of the amount she bought the goods + the amount spent on transport

Using the values we have in the question;

The cost price will be;

13,600 + 400 = Rs 14,000

The selling price = Rs 16,800

Mathematically the percentage gain will be;

% gain = (selling price- cost price)/selling price * 100%

% gain = (16,800-14,000)/14,000 * 100/1

% gain = 2800/14,000 * 100/1 = 1/5 * 100/1 = 20%
