1328 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of the ticket at 20% discount
= 80% x 85
=
80100 x 85
= $68
Number of tickets given for free = 13 u
13 u = 1040
1 u = 1040 ÷ 13 = 80
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 680 u + 476 u
= 1156 u
= 1156 x 80
= $92480
Answer(s): $92480
