Question

Ankitesh and his friend Jimmy together sold ticketes for a charity show for Rs 3800. If Ankitesh sold it at a price which is $1\frac{3}{8}$ times of the price at which Jimmy sold it, how much did each of them sell the ticketes for ?

Answer 1

Let the price for which Jimmy sold the ticket be x
$\therefore$ Ankitesh sold the ticket for $1\frac{3}{8}x=\frac{11x}{8}$
sum of the selling cost =3800 [Given]
$\frac{11x}{8}+x=3800\Rightarrow \frac{19x}{8}=\text{/}{3800}^{200}\Rightarrow x=1600$
$\Rightarrow$ Jimmy sold the ticket for 1600 and Ankitesh sold id for $\frac{11\times \text{/}{1600}^{200}}{8}=2200$
