Tickets for a theme park were sold at $50 and $71. All the tickets were completely sold out. The amount collected for the $71 tickets was $10650. Given that the number of $71 tickets was
14 of the number of $50 tickets, how much more money was collected from the sales of the $50 ticket than the $71 ticket?

1 u |
Value |

$71 |
Total value |
200 u |
71 u |
Total amount collected for the $71 ticket = 71 u
71 u = 10650
1 u = 10650 ÷ 71 = 150
More money collected from the sales of the $50 ticket than the $71 ticket
= 200 u - 71 u
= 129 u
= 129 x 150
= $19350
Answer: $19350
