930 =
730 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 28
=
75100 x 28
= $21
Number of tickets given for free = 7 u
7 u = 700
1 u = 700 ÷ 7 = 100
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 392 u + 189 u
= 581 u
= 581 x 100
= $58100
Answer(s): $58100
