Let the number of sh.100 tickets be x
Let the number of sh.50 tickets be y
Total amount collected=100x+50y=100,000
If 30% more of y were sold,the amount=(130/100 x 50y)
If 40% less of x were sold,the amount=(60/100 x 100x)
(65y+60x=112500)x10
(50y+100x=100,000)x13
650y+600x=1125000
650y+1300x=1300000
700x=175000x20(change to pounds)
x=5000
50y+100x5000=1000000x20=2000000
50y=1500000
y=30000
Number of tickets costing sh.50=30000
Number of tickets costing sh.100=5000
