In an entertainment programme, 250 tickets of 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.

Given, 250 tickets of Rs 400 were sold


∴ total amount received by selling these tickets = 250 × 400 = 100000


⇒ Amount received by selling 500 tickets of Rs 100 = 500 × 100 = 50000


⇒ given, 40% and 20% of entertainment tax is on rs 400 and 100 tickets


∴ total entertainment tax collected = 40% of total amount received by selling tickets of rs 400 + 20% of total amount received by selling tickets of rs 100


= 40% of 100000 + 20% of 50000


= × 100000 + × 50000


= 40000 + 10000


= 50000
