Solution
It is given that, 250 tickets of ₹ 400 were sold, Therefore, total amount received by selling these tickets = 250 × 400 = ₹ 100000
Similarly, amount received by selling 500 tickets of ₹ 100 = 500 × 100 = ₹ 50000
It is also given that, 40% and 20% of entertainment tax is on ₹ 400 and ₹ 100 tickets, respectively.
So, total entertainment tax collected
= 40% of total amount received by selling tickets of ₹ 400 + 20% of total amount received by selling tickels of ₹ 100
= 40% of 100000 + 20% of 50000
= `40/100 xx 100000 + 20/100 xx 50000`
= 40000 + 10000
= ₹ 50000
Hence, the total collected entertainment tax was ₹ 50000.
