ticket sale on Saturday night is triple the ticket sale on Friday night.

Therefore

ticket sales on Saturday night = 3 x 12425 = 37275

Then

ticket sales for both nights = 12425 + 37275 = 49700

A ticket costs 35.

Let the number of people that attended the carnival on both nights be n.

Then, we have


\begin{gathered} 35n=49700 \\ \Rightarrow n=(49700)/(35)=1420 \end{gathered}

Therefore 1420 people attended the carnival on both nights
