Fraction of the tickets given free

815 -
110= 1 -
1630 -
330 =
1130 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 55
=
60100 x 55
= $33
Number of tickets given for free = 11 u
11 u = 440
1 u = 440 ÷ 11 = 40
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 880 u + 99 u
= 979 u
= 979 x 40
= $39160
Answer(s): $39160
