One box office of a movie theater sold 86 tickets more than the other one. How many tickets were sold by each box office, if the total number of tickets sold was 792?

Box office A would have sold 439 tickets and Box office B would have sold 353 tickets.

792 - 86 = 706

706 : 2 = 353

353 + 86 = 439

439 + 353 = 792

353 and 439 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets sold = 792

Let Box office one sold tickets be x

Box office two sold tickets = x + 86

Total tickets sold = x + (x+86) = 792

= 2x + 86 = 792

= 2x = 792 - 86

= 2x = 706

x = 353

One box office sold 353 tickets, As per given statement that "second box office sold 86 more tickets"

Box office two sold 353 + 86 = 439 tickets

Therefore, one box office sold 353 and other box office sold 439 tickets.
