100% - 40% = 60%
60100 =
35 Total number of seats
= 3 u + 5 u
= 8 u
8 u = 2048
1 u = 2048 ÷ 8 = 256
Total number of $20-seat tickets
= 5 u
= 5 x 256
= 1280
Number of $20-seat tickets sold
= 75% x 1280
=
75100 x 1280
= 960
Amount collected from $20-seat tickets sold
= 960 x 20
= $19200
Amount collected from $45-seat tickets sold
= 33510 - 19200
= $14310
Number of $45-seat tickets sold
= 14310 ÷ 45
= 318
Number of tickets sold
= 960 + 318
= 1278
Number of tickets left unsold
= 2048 - 1278
= 770
Answer(s): 770
