knowing that 50 tickets is $37.50 how much is 40 tickets
From this information we know that the price of 50 tickets is 37.50 dollars.
Now we need to find the price of one ticket only so:
50 = 37.50
1 = X
Where X is the price of one ticket. Let us now cross-multiply this equation. It will give us:
50X = 37.50
X = 37.50/50
X = 0.75
So 1 ticket will cost 0.75 dollars.
How about 40 tickets?
We simply multiply 40 by the price of the 1 ticket, so:
40 * 0.75 = 30
Therefore the price of 40 tickets is 30 dollars.
