For a concert 1000 tickets are sold at either 1200shilling or 800 the total amount received is 928000 how many of each prize was sold

320 tickets for 1200 shs and 680 tickets for 800 shs (multiply please)

Step-by-step explanation:

let; x - be the number of 1200 shs tickets.

     y - number of 800 shs tickets.

x + y = 1000 tickets eqtn 1

1200x + 800y = 928000 shseqtn 2

solve the simultaneous equation by elimination by multiplying eqtn 1 by 800 and eqtn 2 by 1 to be able to eliminate (y) when subtracting.

you will get ; -400x = -12800. Cancel out to get x as 320.

use any equation to get y

i used equation 1 ; 320 + y =1000.

subtract 320 from 1000 to get 680.

multiply the number of tickets by their corresponding amount to get the answer as;

1200 sh tickets = 384000 shs

800 sh tickets = 544000 shs.

there goes your answer . you can prove it to see if it adds up. i hope i have been a great help to you.
