The theme park tickets are priced at $19 and $14. The number of $19-dollar tickets available is 2
13 that of the number of $14-dollar tickets. 3 out of 4 of the $19-dollar tickets and all the $14-dollar tickets were sold. The ticket sales amounted to $6804. How much more would have been collected if all the tickets were sold?

$14 |
Comparing $19 and $14 tickets at first |
7x4 = 28 u |
3x4 = 12 u |
Before |
4x7 = 28 u |
|
Change |
- 3x7 = - 21 u |
- 12 u |
After |
1x7 = 7 u |
0 u |
The number of 19 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 19 tickets the same. LCM of 4 and 7 is 28.

Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 399 u + 168 u
= 567 u
1 u = 6804 ÷ 567 = 12
Number of $19-tickets left unsold
= 7 u
= 7 x 12
= 84
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 84 x 19
= $1596
Answer(s): $1596
