316 of the number of $29 tickets, how much more money was collected from the sales of the $29 ticket than the $60 ticket?

16 u |
3 u |
Value |
$29 |
$180 |
Total value |
464 u |
180 u |
Total amount collected for the $60 ticket = 180 u
180 u = 28440
1 u = 28440 ÷ 180 = 158
More money collected from the sales of the $29 ticket than the $60 ticket
= 464 u - 60 u
= 284 u
= 284 x 158
= $44872
Answer: $44872
