The safari park tickets are priced at $22 and $13. The number of $22-dollar tickets available is 2
35 that of the number of $13-dollar tickets. 2 out of 3 of the $22-dollar tickets and all the $13-dollar tickets were sold. The ticket sales amounted to $3068. How much more would have been collected if all the tickets were sold?

$13 |
Comparing $22 and $13 tickets at first |
13x3 = 39 u |
5x3 = 15 u |
Before |
3x13 = 39 u |
|
Change |
- 2x13 = - 26 u |
- 15 u |
After |
1x13 = 13 u |
0 u |
The number of 22 tickets at first is repeated. Make the number of 22 tickets the same. LCM of 3 and 13 is 39.

Total amount collected from the sale of the sold tickets
= 572 u + 195 u
= 767 u
1 u = 3068 ÷ 767 = 4
Number of $22-tickets left unsold
= 13 u
= 13 x 4
= 52
More amount to be collected if all the tickets were sold
= 52 x 22
= $1144
Answer(s): $1144
