Let the number of tickets sold of Rs 100 be x. The number of tickets of Rs 200 sold was 20 more than the number of tickets of Rs 100. 

∴ Number of tickets sold of Rs 200 = (x + 20)

∴ Total amount received by the theatre through the sale of tickets = 100 × x + 200 × (x + 20)

= 100x + 200x + 4000 

= 300x + 4000

Since, the total amount received by the theatre through the sale of tickets = Rs 37000

∴ 300x + 4000 = 37000 

∴ 300x = 37000 – 4000 

∴ 300x = 33000

∴ x = \(\cfrac{33000}{300}\) 

∴ x = 110

∴ 110 tickets of Rs 100 were sold.
