Answer 1

Answer:

The total amount collected from both ordinary and VIP seats on that particular day is 337657.50 AED

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Calculate the number of seats of each type - the ordinary and the VIP seats.

The VIP seats = 2/15 × 750 = 100 seats.

The ordinary seats = the remaining seats = 750 - 100 = 650 seats.

Step 2 : Calculate the seats occupied on that particular day.

VIP seats = 2/5 × 100 = 40 seats.

Ordinary seats = 11/13 × 650 = 550 seats.

Step 3 : Calculate the money collected on the sale of each type.

VIP seats = 40 × 875.50 = 35020 AED.

Ordinary seats = 550 × 550.25 = 302637.5 AED

Step 4 : Calculate the total money collected from both types.

302637.5 AED + 35020 AED = 337657.50 AED.
