Question

Ashland Theater sold 5,850 tickets to Shakespearean plays last season. This season, the theater sold 56% fewer tickets to Shakespearean plays. How many such tickets did the theater sell this season?

Answer 1

Answer:

2,574 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we simply need to find 56% of 5,850 and subtract the answer from 5,850.

To find 56% of 5,850, we can simply multiply it by .56.

5,850*.56=3276

Then, we can subtract our answer, 3,276 from 5,850 and that will give us the amount of tickets the theater sold this season.

5,850-3276= 2,574

The theater sold 2,574 tickets this season.

Hope this helps! :D
