Comparing $13 and $5 tickets at first |
13x4 = 52 u |
6x4 = 24 u |
Before |
4x13 = 52 u |
|
Change |
- 3x13 = - 39 u |
- 24 u |
After |
1x13 = 13 u |
0 u |
The number of 13 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 13 tickets the same. LCM of 4 and 13 is 52.

Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 507 u + 120 u
= 627 u
1 u = 6270 ÷ 627 = 10
Number of $13-tickets left unsold
= 13 u
= 13 x 10
= 130
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 130 x 13
= $1690
Answer(s): $1690
