Fraction of the tickets given free

17= 1 -
1435 -
535 =
1635 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 28
=
75100 x 28
= $21
Number of tickets given for free = 16 u
16 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 16 = 50
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 392 u + 105 u
= 497 u
= 497 x 50
= $24850
Answer(s): $24850
