The park tickets are priced at $14 and $11. The number of $14-dollar tickets available is 1
34 that of the number of $11-dollar tickets. 2 out of 5 of the $14-dollar tickets and all the $11-dollar tickets were sold. The ticket sales amounted to $1664. How much more would have been collected if all the tickets were sold?

$11 |
Comparing $14 and $11 tickets at first |
7x5 = 35 u |
4x5 = 20 u |
Before |
5x7 = 35 u |
|
Change |
- 2x7 = - 14 u |
- 20 u |
After |
3x7 = 21 u |
0 u |
The number of 14 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 14 tickets the same. LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.

Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 196 u + 220 u
= 416 u
1 u = 1664 ÷ 416 = 4
Number of $14-tickets left unsold
= 21 u
= 21 x 4
= 84
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 84 x 14
= $1176
Answer(s): $1176
