70100 =
710 50% x 510
=
50100 x 510
= 255
510 - 255 = 255
Total number of tickets sold on Tuesday
= 5 u + 255 + 17 u
= 22 u + 255
22 u + 255 = 607
22 u = 607 - 255
22 u = 352
1 u = 352 ÷ 22 = 16
Total number of tickets sold to all the women
= 10 u + 17 u
= 27 u
= 27 x 16
= 432
Amount collected from the sale of concert tickets to all the women
= 432 x 9
= $3888
Answer(s): $3888
