1015 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
Price of the ticket at 10% discount
= 90% x 60
=
90100 x 60
= $54
Number of tickets given for free = 10 u
10 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 10 = 80
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 120 u + 162 u
= 282 u
= 282 x 80
= $22560
Answer(s): $22560
