1936 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 60
=
60100 x 60
= $36
Number of tickets given for free = 19 u
19 u = 380
1 u = 380 ÷ 19 = 20
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 480 u + 324 u
= 804 u
= 804 x 20
= $16080
Answer(s): $16080
