Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
115 -
310= 1 -
230 -
930 =
1930 Price of the ticket after discount in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of the ticket at 40% discount
= 60% x 65
=
60100 x 65
= $39
Number of tickets given for free = 19 u
19 u = 570
1 u = 570 ÷ 19 = 30
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 130 u + 351 u
= 481 u
= 481 x 30
= $14430
Answer(s): $14430
