635 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of the ticket at 20% discount
= 80% x 65
=
80100 x 65
= $52
Number of tickets given for free = 6 u
6 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 6 = 40
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 975 u + 728 u
= 1703 u
= 1703 x 40
= $68120
Answer(s): $68120
