Question

the number of tickets sold at the Amazing Art Museum on Saturday was 175% of the ticket sales on Friday. If 2,000 tickets were sold on Friday, how many tickets were sold on Saturday?

Answer 1

Hello! So the ticket sales on Saturday were 175% of Friday's ticket sales. Because the percent exceeds 100%, that means more tickets were sold on Saturday than Friday. To find out how many tickets were sold on Saturday, all you have to do is multiply the amount of tickets sold on Friday (2,000) by the percent (175%). 2,000 * 175% (1.75) is 3,500. There. The Amazing Art Museum sold 3,500 tickets on Saturday.

Answer 2

2000*1.75 makes 3500 tickets sold Saturday.
