635 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 36
=
75100 x 36
= $27
Number of tickets given for free = 6 u
6 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 6 = 60
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 540 u + 378 u
= 918 u
= 918 x 60
= $55080
Answer(s): $55080
