Comparing $27 and $19 tickets at first |
7x4 = 28 u |
3x4 = 12 u |
Before |
4x7 = 28 u |
|
Change |
- 3x7 = - 21 u |
- 12 u |
After |
1x7 = 7 u |
0 u |
The number of 27 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 27 tickets the same. LCM of 4 and 7 is 28.

Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 567 u + 228 u
= 795 u
1 u = 4770 ÷ 795 = 6
Number of $27-tickets left unsold
= 7 u
= 7 x 6
= 42
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 42 x 27
= $1134
Answer(s): $1134
