Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
25 -
110= 1 -
410 -
110 =
510 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 56
=
75100 x 56
= $42
Number of tickets given for free = 5 u
5 u = 500
1 u = 500 ÷ 5 = 100
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 224 u + 42 u
= 266 u
= 266 x 100
= $26600
Answer(s): $26600
