Tickets for the school play were priced at ₦520.00 each for adults and ₦250.00 each for kids. How many kids' tickets were sold if the total sales were ₦171,000.00 and there were 5 times as many adult tickets sold as children's tickets?
20
300
50
60
Correct answer is D
Let number of children's ticket at ₦250.00 each = x
∴ Number of adult tickets at ₦520.00 each = 5x
Then,
Total amount of money received from children's tickets = 250x
Total amount of money received from adult tickets = 520(5x)
⇒ 250x + 520(5x) = 171,000
⇒ 250x + 2600x = 171,000
⇒ 2850x = 171,000
⇒ x=171,0002850=60
∴ 60 tickets were sold at ₦250.00 and 300 tickets were sold at ₦520.00
