Atour-bus operator sold $1,517 worth of tickets for a trip to niagara falls. each tickets cost the same amount and could be paid for with three bills. what was the cost of a ticket

We will make use of the concept of prime factors for solving this question. The prime factors of 1517 are:

So, as can be clearly seen the Niagara Fall tour operator can either sell 37 tickets for $41 each or 41 tickets for $37 each.

Now, we know that we cannot reach $37 using just three bills. Thus, the only option left to us is $41 which can be broken down into three bills of $20,$20 and $1. This satisfies our condition.

Thus the cost of a ticket was $41 and 37 such tickets were sold.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
