Problema Solution
Ankitesh and his friend Jimmy together sold tickets for a charity show for RS 3800. If Ankitesh sold 1 3/8 times as by Jimmy, how much did each of them sell
Answer provided by our tutors
we write 1 3/8 as 11/8
we assume "RS 3800" means "3800 tickets were sold"
let 'x' represent the amount sold by Jimmy, then '(11/8)x' represents the number of tickets Ankitesh sold
3800 = x + (11/8)x
solving for 'x' we have x=1600
3800-1600 = 2200
based on our understanding of the problem statement, Jimmy sold 1600 tickets and Ankitesh sold 2200 tickets
