Question

A theater company has raised $930.75 by selling 25 floor seat tickets. Each ticket costs the same.

Answer 1

Part A:

To find the total mount made by selling the tickets, you need to multiply the number of tickets sold by the price of each ticket. Let the price of a ticket be X.

The equation would be Total = 25x

Part B:

Replace total with the amount they made and solve for x ( the price of a ticket).

930.75 = 25x

Divide both sides by 25:

X = 930.75 / 25

X = 37.23

The price of a ticket was $37.23

To know if it is right, multiply your answer by the number of tickets sold to see if it equals the total made:

37.23 x 25 = 930.75
