100% - 25% = 75%

34 Total number of seats
= 3 u + 4 u
= 7 u
7 u = 1645
1 u = 1645 ÷ 7 = 235
Total number of $20-seat tickets
= 4 u
= 4 x 235
= 940
Number of $20-seat tickets sold
= 75% x 940
=
75100 x 940
= 705
Amount collected from $20-seat tickets sold
= 705 x 20
= $14100
Amount collected from $30-seat tickets sold
= 28350 - 14100
= $14250
Number of $30-seat tickets sold
= 14250 ÷ 30
= 475
Number of tickets sold
= 705 + 475
= 1180
Number of tickets left unsold
= 1645 - 1180
= 465
Answer(s): 465
