Fraction of the tickets given free

59= 1 -

1018 =
518 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 36
=
75100 x 36
= $27
Number of tickets given for free = 5 u
5 u = 250
1 u = 250 ÷ 5 = 50
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 108 u + 270 u
= 378 u
= 378 x 50
= $18900
Answer(s): $18900
