Football 3338

In two days, they sold 12,600 tickets for the football match. They sold 80% of what they did the next day on the first day. How many tickets were sold on the first day, and how many on the second day?

Correct answer:

a =  5600
b =  7000

Step-by-step explanation:


a+b=12600
a = 0.80 · b

a+b = 12600
a-0.8b = 0

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
a+b = 12600
-1.8b = -12600


b = -12600/-1.8 = 7000
a = 12600-b = 12600-7000 = 5600

a = 5600
b = 7000
