Question

A few tickets of a show are sold at Rs.10 per ticket and the other tickets are sold at Rs.12 per ticket. In all, 100 tickets are sold on a specific day. If the amount collected on that day was Rs.1056, find the number of tickets sold at Rs.12.

• A. 72
• B. 62
• C. 28
• D. 38

Answer 1

The correct option is C

28

Let the number of tickets sold at Rs. 10 be x and number of tickets sold at Rs. 12 be (100 – x).

10x + 12 (100 – x) = 1056

10x – 12x =

1056 – 1200

–2x = –144

2x = 144

x = 72.

Number of tickets sold at Rs. 12 = 100 – 72 = 28
