Fraction of the tickets given free

13= 1 -
621 -
721 =
821 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 44
=
75100 x 44
= $33
Number of tickets given for free = 8 u
8 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 8 = 50
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 264 u + 231 u
= 495 u
= 495 x 50
= $24750
Answer(s): $24750
