The museum tickets are priced at $13 and $6. The number of $13-dollar tickets available is 2
14 that of the number of $6-dollar tickets. 2 out of 3 of the $13-dollar tickets and all the $6-dollar tickets were sold. The ticket sales amounted to $204. How much more would have been collected if all the tickets were sold?

$13 |
$6 |
Comparing $13 and $6 tickets at first |
9x1 = 9 u |
4x1 = 4 u |
Before |
3x3 = 9 u |
|
Change |
- 2x3 = - 6 u |
- 4 u |
After |
1x3 = 3 u |
0 u |
The number of 13 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 13 tickets the same. LCM of 3 and 9 is 9.

$204 |
Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 78 u + 24 u
= 102 u
1 u = 204 ÷ 102 = 2
Number of $13-tickets left unsold
= 3 u
= 3 x 2
= 6
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 6 x 13
= $78
Answer(s): $78
