Question

A theater charges 11 dollars per ticket for a show. However, to put on the show, they rent out an auditorium for $150. If t is the number of tickets sold, write an expression for the amount the theater group will make on the show.

Answer 1

Answer:

$11t-150$

Step-by-step explanation:

$t$ is the number of tickets. Each ticket costs $11, therefore we can write $11t$.

We need to subtract the price for the rent of the auditorium to find the amount the theatre makes overall, therefore:

$11t-150$
