13 that of the number of $12-dollar tickets. 3 out of 5 of the $22-dollar tickets and all the $12-dollar tickets were sold. The ticket sales amounted to $3552. How much more would have been collected if all the tickets were sold?

$12 |
Comparing $22 and $12 tickets at first |
4x5 = 20 u |
3x5 = 15 u |
Before |
5x4 = 20 u |
|
Change |
- 3x4 = - 12 u |
- 15 u |
After |
2x4 = 8 u |
0 u |
The number of 22 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 22 tickets the same. LCM of 5 and 4 is 20.

Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 264 u + 180 u
= 444 u
1 u = 3552 ÷ 444 = 8
Number of $22-tickets left unsold
= 8 u
= 8 x 8
= 64
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 64 x 22
= $1408
Answer(s): $1408
