The teams paid ₹ 1,750 in total rent the football ground and ₹ 1,129 for food and water.
(a) How much money did the club collect in total from ticket sales and team participation fees?
(b) What were the total expense
Money collected by selling tickets
= ₹ (57 × 115) = ₹ (60 × 115 – 3 × 115) = ₹ (6900 – 345) = ₹ 6555
Deposit of participation fees by the 3 teams = ₹ (3 × 1599) = ₹ (3 × 1600 – 3)
= ₹ 4797
Rent paid for football ground by the teams in total = m50
Cost of food and water for the teams = ₹ 1129
(a) The total money collected by the club from the tickets sales and team participation fees
= ₹ 6555 + ₹ 4797 = ₹ 11,352
(b) Total expenses on renting the ground and food and water = ₹ 1750 + ₹ 1129
= ₹ 2879
