736 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 48
=
75100 x 48
= $36
Number of tickets given for free = 7 u
7 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 7 = 30
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 432 u + 720 u
= 1152 u
= 1152 x 30
= $34560
Answer(s): $34560
