The stadium tickets are priced at $21 and $12. The number of $21-dollar tickets available is 2
13 that of the number of $12-dollar tickets. 2 out of 5 of the $21-dollar tickets and all the $12-dollar tickets were sold. The ticket sales amounted to $1422. How much more would have been collected if all the tickets were sold?

$12 |
Comparing $21 and $12 tickets at first |
7x5 = 35 u |
3x5 = 15 u |
Before |
5x7 = 35 u |
|
Change |
- 2x7 = - 14 u |
- 15 u |
After |
3x7 = 21 u |
0 u |
The number of 21 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 21 tickets the same. LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.

$1422 |
Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 294 u + 180 u
= 474 u
1 u = 1422 ÷ 474 = 3
Number of $21-tickets left unsold
= 21 u
= 21 x 3
= 63
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 63 x 21
= $1323
Answer(s): $1323
