2140 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 100
=
60100 x 100
= $60
Number of tickets given for free = 21 u
21 u = 1470
1 u = 1470 ÷ 21 = 70
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 1500 u + 240 u
= 1740 u
= 1740 x 70
= $121800
Answer(s): $121800
