Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
15 -
12= 1 -
210 -
510 =
310 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 80
=
75100 x 80
= $60
Number of tickets given for free = 3 u
3 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 3 = 80
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 160 u + 300 u
= 460 u
= 460 x 80
= $36800
Answer(s): $36800
