40%

Correct Answer:

58.4%

Explanation:

44% = \(\frac{11}{25}\)      ,        10% = \(\frac{1}{10}\)

                             Old      :      New

 Sale of tickets        25       :        36

 Price of tickets       10       :        11

                              ------------------

Revenue                250      :       396        →     146 (Difference)

(sale × Price)

Revenue increased percentage = \(\frac{146}{250}\) × 100 = 58.4%
