Before |
1 u |
1 u + 170 |
2 u + 170 |
Change |
- 0.4 u |
+ 0.2 u + 34 |
|
After |
0.6 u |
1.2 u + 204 |
1.8 u + 204 |
40% x 1 u =
40100 x 1 u = 0.4 u
20% x 1 u =
20100 x 1 u = 0.2 u
20% x 170 =
20100 x 170 = 34
Number of tickets sold on Tuesday
= 0.6 u + 1.2 u + 204
= 1.8 u + 204
1.8 u + 204 = 384
1.8 u = 384 - 204
1.8 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 1.8 = 100
Amount collected from adult tickets on Monday
= 1 u x 38
= 100 x 38
= $3800
Amount collected from child tickets on Monday
= 6(1 u + 170)
= 6(100 + 170)
= 6 x 270
= $1620
Total amount collected on Monday
= 3800 + 1620
= $5420
Answer(s):$5420
