Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
27 -
13= 1 -
621 -
721 =
821 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 24
=
75100 x 24
= $18
Number of tickets given for free = 8 u
8 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 8 = 100
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 144 u + 126 u
= 270 u
= 270 x 100
= $27000
Answer(s): $27000
