421 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 56
=
75100 x 56
= $42
Number of tickets given for free = 4 u
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 784 u + 126 u
= 910 u
= 910 x 10
= $9100
Answer(s): $9100
