418 =
518 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of the ticket at 20% discount
= 80% x 60
=
80100 x 60
= $48
Number of tickets given for free = 5 u
5 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 5 = 40
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 540 u + 192 u
= 732 u
= 732 x 40
= $29280
Answer(s): $29280
