At a museum, each adult ticket cost $32 and each child ticket cost $9. On Tuesday, the number of adult tickets sold was 200 less than the number of child tickets. On Wednesday, the number of adult tickets sold decreased by 10% while the number of child tickets sold increased by 5%. If a total of 405 tickets were sold on Wednesday, how much money was collected on Tuesday?

Before |
1 u |
1 u + 200 |
2 u + 200 |
Change |
- 0.1 u |
+ 0.05 u + 10 |
|
After |
0.9 u |
1.05 u + 210 |
1.95 u + 210 |
10% x 1 u =
10100 x 1 u = 0.1 u
5% x 1 u =
5100 x 1 u = 0.05 u
5% x 200 =
5100 x 200 = 10
Number of tickets sold on Wednesday
= 0.9 u + 1.05 u + 210
= 1.95 u + 210
1.95 u + 210 = 405
1.95 u = 405 - 210
1.95 u = 195
1 u = 195 ÷ 1.95 = 100
Amount collected from adult tickets on Tuesday
= 1 u x 32
= 100 x 32
= $3200
Amount collected from child tickets on Tuesday
= 9(1 u + 200)
= 9(100 + 200)
= 9 x 300
= $2700
Total amount collected on Tuesday
= 3200 + 2700
= $5900
Answer(s):$5900
