Question

In an entertainment programme, 250 tickets of ₹ 400 and 500 tickets of ₹ 100 were sold. If the entertainment tax is 40% on a ticket of ₹ 400 and 20% on a ticket of ₹ 100, then find how much entertainment tax was collected from the programme?

Answer 1

It is given that, 250 tickets ₹ 400 were sold. Therefore, total amount received by selling these tickets = 250 $\times$ 400= ₹ 100000 Similarly, amount received by selling 500 tickets of ₹ 100 = 500 $\times$ 100= 150000
It is also given that, 40% and 20% of entertainment tax is on ₹400 and ₹ 100 tickets, respectively.
So, total entertainment tax collected
= 40% of total amount received by selling tickets of ₹ 400 + 20% of total amount received by selling tickets of ₹ 100
=40% of 100000 + 20% of 50000
$=\frac{40}{100}\times 100000+\frac{20}{100}\times 50000=40000+10000$
= ₹ 50000
Hence, the total collected entertainment tax was ₹50000.
