100% - 40% = 60%
60100 =
35 Total number of seats
= 3 u + 5 u
= 8 u
8 u = 1080
1 u = 1080 ÷ 8 = 135
Total number of $20-seat tickets
= 5 u
= 5 x 135
= 675
Number of $20-seat tickets sold
= 60% x 675
=
60100 x 675
= 405
Amount collected from $20-seat tickets sold
= 405 x 20
= $8100
Amount collected from $45-seat tickets sold
= 23940 - 8100
= $15840
Number of $45-seat tickets sold
= 15840 ÷ 45
= 352
Number of tickets sold
= 405 + 352
= 757
Number of tickets left unsold
= 1080 - 757
= 323
Answer(s): 323
