Answer 1

Given:

An hour before showtime only 105 people have arrived for a concert.

According to sales 95% of the people have yet to arrive.

To find:

The total number of tickets sold.

Solution:

Let x be the total number of tickets sold.

According to sales 95% of the people have yet to arrive.

`100\%-95\%=5\%`

It means, only 5% people have arrived.

`(5)/(100)x=105`

`(1)/(20)x=105`

`x=105* 20`

`x=2100`

Therefore, the total 2100 tickets were sold.
