The price of a movie ticket was increased in the ratio 9 : 10. What is the increase in the revenue (in Rs.) of the cinema hall, if the original fare was Rs 180 and 2200 tickets were sold.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 44000

Original price = Rs 180

No. of tickets sold = 2200

Revenue = 2200 × 180

New Revenue = 180 × 2200 × 10/9 = 200 × 2200

Increase in revenue = 200 × 2200 - 180 × 2200 = 20 × 2200 = Rs 44000
