At a park, each adult ticket cost $40 and each child ticket cost $9. On Thursday, the number of adult tickets sold was 95 less than the number of child tickets. On Friday, the number of adult tickets sold decreased by 15% while the number of child tickets sold increased by 40%. If a total of 1258 tickets were sold on Friday, how much money was collected on Thursday?

	Adult tickets	Child tickets	Total tickets
Before	1 u	1 u + 95	2 u + 95
Change	- 0.15 u	+ 0.4 u + 38
After	0.85 u	1.4 u + 133	2.25 u + 133

15% x 1 u = ¹⁵₁₀₀ x 1 u = 0.15 u 
40% x 1 u = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ x 1 u = 0.4 u
40% x 95 = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ x 95 = 38

Number of tickets sold on Friday
= 0.85 u + 1.4 u + 133
= 2.25 u + 133

2.25 u + 133 = 1258
2.25 u = 1258 - 133
2.25 u = 1125

1 u = 1125 ÷ 2.25 = 500

Amount collected from adult tickets on Thursday
= 1 u x 40
= 500 x 40
= $20000

Amount collected from child tickets on Thursday
= 9(1 u + 95)
= 9(500 + 95)
= 9 x 595
= $5355

Total amount collected on Thursday
= 20000 + 5355
= $25355

Answer(s):$25355
