521 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
Price of the ticket at 10% discount
= 90% x 10
=
90100 x 10
= $9
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
= 90 u + 63 u
= 153 u
= 153 x 40
= $6120
Answer(s): $6120
