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

Rs 50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.4)(250)(400) + (0.2)(500)(100)

= 50000

Step-by-step explanation:

In the entertainment programme, 250 tickets were sold at Rs. 400. This means that the total amount for which the 250 tickets were sold is

250 × 400 = Rs. 100000

If the entertainment tax is 40% on ticket of Rs. 400, then the amount of tax collected from 250 tickets would be

40/100 × 100000 = Rs. 40000

Also, 500 tickets were sold at Rs. 100. This means that the total amount for which the 500 tickets were sold is

500 × 100 = Rs. 50000

If the entertainment tax is 20% on ticket of Rs. 100, then the amount of tax collected from 500 tickets would be

20/100 × 50000 = Rs. 10000

The total amount of entertainment tax that was collected from the programme is

40000 + 10000 = Rs. 50000

you can use a^2+ b^2=c^2
