The concert organizers decided to donate 15% of the tickets to a local charity.if the total ticket sales amounted to 52000 how much money will be kept by the concert organizers?

To determine how much money the concert organizers will keep, we first calculate how much money will be donated, which is 15% of the total ticket sales, and then subtract this from the total amount.

### Step 1: Calculate 15% of the total sales
\[
\text{Amount donated} = 15\% \times 52000 = 0.15 \times 52000 = 7800
\]

### Step 2: Subtract the donated amount from the total sales
\[
\text{Amount kept by the organizers} = 52000 - 7800 = 44200
\]

Thus, the concert organizers will keep **$44,200**.
