Fraction of the tickets given free

25 -
16= 1 -
1230 -
530 =
1330 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the ticket at 25% discount
= 75% x 16
=
75100 x 16
= $12
Number of tickets given for free = 13 u
13 u = 390
1 u = 390 ÷ 13 = 30
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 192 u + 60 u
= 252 u
= 252 x 30
= $7560
Answer(s): $7560
