28775 tickets are sold for a football match. Children’s tickets cost £15. The ratio of children to adults is 9:16.
If the total ticket sales makes £615785, what is the difference between the price of an adults ticket and a children’s ticket?

Answer:

Difference = £10

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent adult with A and children with C

[tex]A + C = 28775[/tex]

[tex]C : A = 9 : 16[/tex]

[tex]Sales = 615785[/tex]

Required

Determine the difference in price of both tickets

[tex]A + C = 28775[/tex]

Convert ratio to fraction

[tex]C : A = 9 : 16[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C}{A} = \frac{9}{16}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]16C = 9A[/tex]

Make C the subject

[tex]C = \frac{9}{16}A[/tex]

Substitute [tex]C = \frac{9}{16}A[/tex] in [tex]A + C = 28775[/tex]

[tex]A + \frac{9}{16}A = 28775[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]\frac{16A + 9A}{16} = 28775[/tex]

[tex]\frac{25A}{16} = 28775[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 16

[tex]16 * \frac{25A}{16} = 28775*16[/tex]

[tex]25A= 28775*16[/tex]

[tex]25A= 460400[/tex]

Make A the subject

[tex]A = \frac{460400}{25}[/tex]

[tex]A = 18416[/tex]

Substitute 18416 for A in [tex]C = \frac{9}{16}A[/tex]

[tex]C = \frac{9}{16} * 18416[/tex]

[tex]C = \frac{9* 18416}{16}[/tex]

[tex]C = \frac{165744}{16}[/tex]

[tex]C = 10359[/tex]

If a children ticket costs £15, then total children tickets cost:

[tex]Children = 10359 * 15[/tex]

[tex]Children = 155385[/tex]

The total sales is given as:

[tex]Sales = 615785[/tex]

So, the total cost of adult ticket is:

[tex]Adults = 615785 - 155385[/tex]

[tex]Adults = 460400[/tex]

Recall that number of adults is: 18416

So, an adult ticket costs

[tex]An\ adult\ ticket = \frac{460400}{18416 }[/tex]

[tex]An\ adult\ ticket = 25[/tex]

So, we have that:

Children Ticket = £15

Adult Ticket = £25

The difference is:

Difference = £25 - £15

Difference = £10
