70100 =
710 50% x 750
=
50100 x 750
= 375
750 - 375 = 375
Total number of tickets sold on Sunday
= 5 u + 375 + 17 u
= 22 u + 375
22 u + 375 = 1343
22 u = 1343 - 375
22 u = 968
1 u = 968 ÷ 22 = 44
Total number of tickets sold to all the men
= 10 u + 17 u
= 27 u
= 27 x 44
= 1188
Amount collected from the sale of concert tickets to all the men
= 1188 x 10
= $11880
Answer(s): $11880
