Worked solution

11(a)

1. Find twice the amount Tim was paid by adding the difference to the total

8568+5304=138728568 + 5304 = 13872

2. Divide by 2 to find Tim's amount

13872÷2=693613872 \div 2 = 6936

Answer

$6936

11(b)

1. Calculate the total amount Tim and Jerry were each paid (from part a)

Tim's pay = ($8568+$5304)÷2=$6936(\char36{}8568 + \char36{}5304) \div 2 = \char36{}6936
Jerry's pay = $8568−$6936=$1632\char36{}8568 - \char36{}6936 = \char36{}1632

2. Find Tim's pay for an equivalent number of tickets as Jerry (1 unit)

Let the number of tickets Jerry sold be 11 unit.
Tim sold 33 units of tickets.
Tim's pay for 11 unit of tickets = $6936÷3=$2312\char36{}6936 \div 3 = \char36{}2312

3. Find the difference in pay for 1 unit of tickets

Difference in pay for 11 unit of tickets = $2312−$1632=$680\char36{}2312 - \char36{}1632 = \char36{}680

4. Calculate the number of tickets in 1 unit (Jerry's tickets)

Since Tim was paid $5\char36{}5 more per ticket, the difference in pay for 11 unit of tickets is due to this extra $5\char36{}5 per ticket.
Number of tickets in 11 unit = 680÷5=136680 \div 5 = 136

5. Calculate the number of tickets Tim sold

Tim's tickets = 136×3=408136 \times 3 = 408

Answer

408408
