Fraction of the tickets given free

15= 1 -
1035 -
735 =
1835 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 = 18 u
18 u = 1080
1 u = 1080 ÷ 18 = 60
Total amount collected from the sales of the ticket
= 160 u + 84 u
= 244 u
= 244 x 60
= $14640
Answer(s): $14640
