The total amount received from ticket sales was £11 500 and the amount received from tickets bought on the door was £3250. How many tickets were sold altogether
The number of tickets sold at the door = 3250 / 5 = 650
The number of tickets sold in advance = [ 11500 - 3250 ] / 3 = 2750
So.....the total number of tickets sold = 650 + 2750 = 3400
