Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás: Jelölje x az eredeti átlagos nézőszámot, az új jegy árát pedig A. A feladat szövege szerint az új átlagos nézőszám x.1,5. Tudjuk, hogy a bevétel=nézőszám.ár. Ez alapján (x.1,5).A=x.1500.1,25, ahonnan A=1500.1,25:1,5=1250. Tehát a jegy árát 1250 Ft-ra csökkentették.
