so first we should make the denominators the same so find a multiple that 5 and 8 share: they share a multiple of 40, so whatever you do to the denominator you do to the numerator. So the equation should now look like 16/40+15/40 and the answer is 31/40!!
Answer: $4110.8 (more likely - 95% sure) or $2,107 (less likely)
Step-by-step explanation: It could be $4110.8 because you have the take the total they made and subtract is from the cost of the toys ($7,230-$2,450=$4,780). Then you have to take the result of that and get 14% of it, then subtract that from the $4,780 amount. Then you get the final answer which is $4110.8.

However, it could also be $2,107 because the question itsn't that clear in the second sentence. It could be saying that $2,450 is the price of the toys (which is what I assumed above), or that it is the profit that the $2,450 (which I used below). I think that the above answer is more likely because if not then the first number would never be used. Anyways here is the second way it could be.

If I was you, I would do the first one ($4110.8) because I really think it is that one. I just put the other one here just in case.
It is possible
Group 1 : 684 divided by 36 = 19$
Group 2 : 456 divided by 24 = 19$
Therefore, both groups 1 and 2 charge $19 for each ticket
