Given:
- Price ratio (Diamond:Gold) = 12:7
- Revenue ratio (Diamond:Gold) = 45:28
Let:
- Price of diamond ticket = 12x
- Price of gold ticket = 7x
- Number of diamond tickets sold = D
- Number of gold tickets sold = G
From the revenue ratio:
12D / 7G = 45 / 28
Cross-multiplying:
12D * 28 = 7G * 45
=> 336D = 315G
Simplifying gives:
16D = 15G
Final Ratio:
D : G = 15 : 16
Answer: 15:16
- Price ratio (Diamond:Gold) = 12:7
- Revenue ratio (Diamond:Gold) = 45:28
Let:
- Price of diamond ticket = 12x
- Price of gold ticket = 7x
- Number of diamond tickets sold = D
- Number of gold tickets sold = G
| Diamond | Gold | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | 12x | 7x |
| Revenue | 12x * D | 7x * G |
| Revenue Ratio | 45 | 28 |
From the revenue ratio:
12D / 7G = 45 / 28
Cross-multiplying:
12D * 28 = 7G * 45
=> 336D = 315G
Simplifying gives:
16D = 15G
Final Ratio:
D : G = 15 : 16
Answer: 15:16
