100% - 40% = 60%
60100 =
35 Total number of seats
= 3 u + 5 u
= 8 u
8 u = 1024
1 u = 1024 ÷ 8 = 128
Total number of $20-seat tickets
= 5 u
= 5 x 128
= 640
Number of $20-seat tickets sold
= 75% x 640
=
75100 x 640
= 480
Amount collected from $20-seat tickets sold
= 480 x 20
= $9600
Amount collected from $30-seat tickets sold
= 19050 - 9600
= $9450
Number of $30-seat tickets sold
= 9450 ÷ 30
= 315
Number of tickets sold
= 480 + 315
= 795
Number of tickets left unsold
= 1024 - 795
= 229
Answer(s): 229
