The tourist attraction tickets are priced at $30 and $20. The number of $30-dollar tickets available is 2
16 that of the number of $20-dollar tickets. 2 out of 3 of the $30-dollar tickets and all the $20-dollar tickets were sold. The ticket sales amounted to $7980. How much more would have been collected if all the tickets were sold?

Comparing $30 and $20 tickets at first |
13x3 = 39 u |
6x3 = 18 u |
Before |
3x13 = 39 u |
|
Change |
- 2x13 = - 26 u |
- 18 u |
After |
1x13 = 13 u |
0 u |
The number of 30 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 30 tickets the same. LCM of 3 and 13 is 39.

Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 780 u + 360 u
= 1140 u
1 u = 7980 ÷ 1140 = 7
Number of $30-tickets left unsold
= 13 u
= 13 x 7
= 91
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 91 x 30
= $2730
Answer(s): $2730
