718 -
19= 1 -
718 -
218 =
918 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 64
=
75100 x 64
= $48
Number of tickets given for free = 9 u
9 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 9 = 10
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 448 u + 96 u
= 544 u
= 544 x 10
= $5440
