516 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 60
=
60100 x 60
= $36
Number of tickets given for free = 5 u
5 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 5 = 60
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 180 u + 288 u
= 468 u
= 468 x 60
= $28080
Answer(s): $28080
