Fraction of the tickets given free
= 1 -
110 -
34= 1 -
220 -
1520 =
320 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 = 3 u
3 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 3 = 80
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 130 u + 585 u
= 715 u
= 715 x 80
= $57200
Answer(s): $57200
