Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
518 -
12= 1 -
518 -
918 =
418 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
Price of the ticket at 10% discount
= 90% x 50
=
90100 x 50
= $45
Number of tickets given for free = 4 u
4 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 4 = 60
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 250 u + 405 u
= 655 u
= 655 x 60
= $39300
Answer(s): $39300
