Question

Kara had ₹7230 with which she bought 32 tickets for a movie. What is the cost of each ticket? How much money she will be left with?

• A. ₹220, ₹50
• B. ₹225, ₹30
• C. ₹250, ₹30
• D. ₹220, ₹50

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹225, ₹30

Total amount = ₹7230
Number of tickets = 32
To calculate the cost of each ticket, let's divide 7230 by 32.

$$\begin{array}{c}225\\ 327230\\ -\underset{–}{64}2\\ 83\\ -\underset{–}{64}\\ 190\\ -\underset{–}{160}\\ 30\end{array}$$Thus, we have a quotient of 225 and a remainder of 30.
So, each ticket will cost ₹225 and Kara will be left with ₹30.
