Question

tickets were sold at four different gates. Gate D sold 24%. Gate A sold 36%. Gate C sold 14%. Gate B sold 26%. If 39 tickets were sold at Gate B, what was the total number of tickets sold?

Answer 1

150 tickets

Explanation:

Given: Tickets sold at four different gates

Gate B sold 26 % tickets

Tickets sold at Gate B = 39

Let take x as total number of tickets sold at all four gates.

Now, using the value of gate B to find total number of tickets

∴
`26\% * total\ ticket\ sold = 39`

⇒
`(26)/(100) * x = 39`

Next, cross multiply both side

⇒
`x= (39* 100)/(26) = 150\ tickets`

∴ Total tickets sold at all the four gates is 150
