Fraction of the tickets given free

38 -
310= 1 -
1540 -
1240 =
1340 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 32
=
75100 x 32
= $24
Number of tickets given for free = 13 u
13 u = 390
1 u = 390 ÷ 13 = 30
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 480 u + 288 u
= 768 u
= 768 x 30
= $23040
Answer(s): $23040
