Tickets for a theme park were sold at $32 and $60. All the tickets were completely sold out. The amount collected for the $60 tickets was $11640. Given that the number of $60 tickets was
15 of the number of $32 tickets, how much more money was collected from the sales of the $32 ticket than the $60 ticket?

1 u |
Value |

$60 |
Total value |
160 u |
60 u |
Total amount collected for the $60 ticket = 60 u
60 u = 11640
1 u = 11640 ÷ 60 = 194
More money collected from the sales of the $32 ticket than the $60 ticket
= 160 u - 60 u
= 100 u
= 100 x 194
= $19400
Answer: $19400
