The theatre at Marina Bay Sands has 1680 seats. In June 2011, tickets are priced at $180 per
adult and $50 per child.
(a)

One evening, 80% of the seats in the cinema are occupied. Twenty of the people present
are children. Calculate the total amount of money collected from the sale of tickets for
the evening.
[2]

(b)

The price of the adult ticket in June 2011 is 4% cheaper than that in December 2010.
Calculate the price of the adult ticket in December 2010.
[2]

(c)

The amount of money collected from the sale of tickets for one day in June 2011 is
$108 000. This sum is divided among cost of operation, wages and profit in the ratio
2 : 3 : 7.
(i)

Calculate the compound interest earned if the profit of the day is invested at a
rate of 5% per annum compounded every 3 months for a period of 2 years. [2]

(ii)

The cost of operation per day in June 2011 is $2000 more than that in December
2010. Find the percentage increase of the cost.
