Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
316 -
14= 1 -
316 -
416 =
916 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 88
=
75100 x 88
= $66
Number of tickets given for free = 9 u
9 u = 810
1 u = 810 ÷ 9 = 90
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 264 u + 264 u
= 528 u
= 528 x 90
= $47520
Answer(s): $47520
