Fraction of the tickets given free

116 -
12= 1 -
116 -
816 =
716 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 35
=
60100 x 35
= $21
Number of tickets given for free = 7 u
7 u = 490
1 u = 490 ÷ 7 = 70
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 35 u + 168 u
= 203 u
= 203 x 70
= $14210
Answer(s): $14210
