Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
12 -
15= 1 -
510 -
210 =
310 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 68
=
75100 x 68
= $51
Number of tickets given for free = 3 u
3 u = 270
1 u = 270 ÷ 3 = 90
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 340 u + 102 u
= 442 u
= 442 x 90
= $39780
Answer(s): $39780
