Each admisssion tickets cost $17.50. What was the total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first tow hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

$13,475

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first hour:

350 people purchased admission tickets.

In the second hour:

20% MORE people purchased admission tickets.

Implication is, 20% of 350

= 20/ 100 * 350

simplifying that:

=2 * 35

=70

Therefore, 2nd hour purchase:

= 350 + 70

= 420 admission tickets.

TO GET THE TOTAL COST OF ADMISSION TICKETS BOUGHT, we Multiply the value of each admission tickets by the numbers of tickets bought.

1st hour Purchase = 350 * $17.50

= $6,125

2nd hour purchase = 420 * $17.50

= $7,350

Total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours:

=$6125 + $7350

=$13,475
