At a theme park, each adult ticket cost $37 and each child ticket cost $17. On Tuesday, the number of adult tickets sold was 112 less than the number of child tickets. On Wednesday, the number of adult tickets sold decreased by 40% while the number of child tickets sold increased by 50%. If a total of 1848 tickets were sold on Wednesday, how much money was collected on Tuesday?

	Adult tickets	Child tickets	Total tickets
Before	1 u	1 u + 112	2 u + 112
Change	- 0.4 u	+ 0.5 u + 56
After	0.6 u	1.5 u + 168	2.1 u + 168

40% x 1 u = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ x 1 u = 0.4 u 
50% x 1 u = ⁵⁰₁₀₀ x 1 u = 0.5 u
50% x 112 = ⁵⁰₁₀₀ x 112 = 56

Number of tickets sold on Wednesday
= 0.6 u + 1.5 u + 168
= 2.1 u + 168

2.1 u + 168 = 1848
2.1 u = 1848 - 168
2.1 u = 1680

1 u = 1680 ÷ 2.1 = 800

Amount collected from adult tickets on Tuesday
= 1 u x 37
= 800 x 37
= $29600

Amount collected from child tickets on Tuesday
= 17(1 u + 112)
= 17(800 + 112)
= 17 x 912
= $15504

Total amount collected on Tuesday
= 29600 + 15504
= $45104

Answer(s):$45104
