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
