70100 =
710 50% x 330
=
50100 x 330
= 165
330 - 165 = 165
Total number of tickets sold on Sunday
= 5 u + 165 + 17 u
= 22 u + 165
22 u + 165 = 1111
22 u = 1111 - 165
22 u = 946
1 u = 946 ÷ 22 = 43
Total number of tickets sold to all the men
= 10 u + 17 u
= 27 u
= 27 x 43
= 1161
Amount collected from the sale of concert tickets to all the men
= 1161 x 10
= $11610
Answer(s): $11610
