Answer 1

--------------------------------
First Hour :
--------------------------------
150 people bought the tickets

--------------------------------
Second Hour :
--------------------------------
20 % of 150 = 0.2 x 150 = 30
150 + 30 = 180

180 people bought the tickets

--------------------------------
Third Hour :
--------------------------------
10% of 180 = 0.1 x 180 = 18
180 - 18 = 162

162 people bought the tickets

--------------------------------
Total customers :
--------------------------------
150 + 180 + 162 = 492

--------------------------------
Total amount paid :
--------------------------------
492 x $10.50 = $5166
