Let the initial number of tickets bought be 100.
Therefore collection=100*5=500.
44% of 500 =220.
Therefore, as there is a sale increase of 4% therefore, new sale is 500+220=720.
But, new cost of ticket is Rs. 4, therefore number of tickets that are bought are=720/4=180.
Therefore 80 more visitors are there....

Ans 80%
as the total sale = ticket price * number of visitors
let percentage increase in total sale , ticket and number of visitors be
s , t, v respectively
so we can use formula of s = t + v + t*v/100
t = -20 and s =+44 solving this e get v = +80

ans= 92.5%
let previous no of visitors=x
let present no (after price reduction)=y
so sales are 5x and 4y respectively
4y-5x=.44*5x
y=1.925x
now
y-x=.925=92.5% increment in visitor`s no.

let 100rs ticket be sold. so now ticket worth rs 100*144/100= 144 are sold.
earlier 1 ticket cost rs 5.
so earlier 100/5= 20 tickets were sold
reduction of 20% implies new cost is rs 4. so now 144/4 = 36 tickets are sold.
% increase is= ((36-20)/20)*100
=80%
