Question

) A movie hall sold twice as many tickets on Tuesday as on Monday. It sold 40 more on Wednesday than on Tuesday. If 200 tickets were sold on Wednesday, how many were sold on Monday?

Answer 1

Answer: 32 tickets were sold on Monday

Answer 2

32 Tickets

Explanation:

If it sold x tickets on monday, then it sold 2x tickets on Tuesday, and sold 2x+40 on Wednesday.

the total number of tickets sold is:

x + 2x + 2x + 40 = 5x + 40

5x + 40 = 200

5x = 160

x = 32

So 32 tickets were sold on monday
