Question

How many of each type of ticket were sold

Answer 1

350 food tickets and 180 ride tickets were sold.

D is the correct option.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of food tickets sold and y be the number of ride tickets sold.

The system of equation is given by

`2x + 3y = 1240........(1)\\\\x = 2y - 10......(2)`

Substituting the value of x from 2 in equation 1, we get

`2(2y-10)+3y=1240\\4y-20+3y=1240\\7y=1260\\y=180`

Substituting the value of y in equation 2, we get

`x=2(180)-10\\x=360-10\\x=350`

Hence, 350 food tickets and 180 ride tickets were sold.

D is the correct option.
