one ticket for a concert

[sanju09]

Every pupil in a school was given one ticket for a concert. The school was charged a total of $6000 for these tickets, all of which were of equal value. What was the price of one ticket?

1. If the price of each ticket had been one dollar less, the total cost would have been 1,200 less.
2. If the price of each ticket had been $2 more, the total bill would have increased by 40 percent.

given 6000/x=m

stmt1
5800/x=m-1..can be rewritten as 5800/x=6000/x-1....
solve for x and then find m
suff

stmt2
(7/5)*6000/x=m+2
(7/5)*6000/x=6000/x+2
