Q1 · A football club sells tickets at different prices dependent on age group
1 A football club sells tickets at different prices dependent on age group. (a) (i) At one game, the club sold tickets in the ratio under 18 : 18 to 60 : over 60 = 2 : 7 : 3. There were 6100 tickets sold for people aged under 18. Calculate the total number of tickets sold for the game. ................................................... [3] (ii) Calculate the percentage of tickets sold for people aged under 18. ..............................................% [1] (b) The table shows the football ticket prices for the different age groups. Age Price Under 18 $15 18 to 60 $35 Over 60 $18 At a different game there were 42 600 tickets sold. • 14% were sold to people aged under 18 2 • 3 of the tickets were sold to people aged 18 to 60 • The remainder were sold to people aged over 60 Calculate the total amount the football club receives from ticket sales for this game. $ .................................................. [5] (c) In a sale, the football club shop reduced the price of the football shirts to $23.80 . An error was made when working out this sale price. The price was reduced by 30% instead of 20%. Calculate the correct sale price for the football shirt. $ ................................................... [5]
