16= 1 -
718 -
318 =
818 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 36
=
75100 x 36
= $27
Number of tickets given for free = 8 u
8 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 8 = 100
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 252 u + 81 u
= 333 u
= 333 x 100
= $33300
Answer(s): $33300
