Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of tickets sold is40,000. The tickets were sold out in12.5 hours3. The number of tickets sold per hour is constant

STEP 2

We are given the equation 40,00012.5x=040,000-12.5 x=0 and we need to solve for xx. The variable xx represents the number of tickets sold per hour.

STEP 3

To isolate xx, we need to add 12.5x12.5x to both sides of the equation.
40,000=12.5x40,000 =12.5x

STEP 4

Next, we need to divide both sides of the equation by12. to solve for xx.
x=40,00012.x = \frac{40,000}{12.}

STEP 5

Calculate the value of xx.
x=40,00012.5=3,200x = \frac{40,000}{12.5} =3,200So,3,200 tickets were sold per hour.
