Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
110 -
12= 1 -
110 -
510 =
410 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 80
=
60100 x 80
= $48
Number of tickets given for free = 4 u
4 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 4 = 100
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 80 u + 240 u
= 320 u
= 320 x 100
= $32000
Answer(s): $32000
