Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
12 -
310= 1 -
510 -
310 =
210 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 65
=
60100 x 65
= $39
Number of tickets given for free = 2 u
2 u = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 2 = 40
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 325 u + 117 u
= 442 u
= 442 x 40
= $17680
Answer(s): $17680
