Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
49 -
16= 1 -
818 -
318 =
718 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 90
=
60100 x 90
= $54
Number of tickets given for free = 7 u
7 u = 630
1 u = 630 ÷ 7 = 90
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 720 u + 162 u
= 882 u
= 882 x 90
= $79380
Answer(s): $79380
