528 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 95
=
60100 x 95
= $57
Number of tickets given for free = 5 u
5 u = 350
1 u = 350 ÷ 5 = 70
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 665 u + 912 u
= 1577 u
= 1577 x 70
= $110390
Answer(s): $110390
