Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
110 -
14= 1 -
220 -
520 =
1320 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 64
=
75100 x 64
= $48
Number of tickets given for free = 13 u
13 u = 650
1 u = 650 ÷ 13 = 50
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 128 u + 240 u
= 368 u
= 368 x 50
= $18400
Answer(s): $18400
