Tickets for a theme park were sold at $37 and $90. All the tickets were completely sold out. The amount collected for the $90 tickets was $13500. Given that the number of $90 tickets was
29 of the number of $37 tickets, how much more money was collected from the sales of the $37 ticket than the $90 ticket?

Number |
9 u |
2 u |
Value |
$37 |
$180 |
Total value |
333 u |
180 u |
Total amount collected for the $90 ticket = 180 u
180 u = 13500
1 u = 13500 ÷ 180 = 75
More money collected from the sales of the $37 ticket than the $90 ticket
= 333 u - 90 u
= 153 u
= 153 x 75
= $11475
Answer: $11475
