Question

If a stadium has 15,000 seats sold at $10.00, $12.50, and $15.00 equally distributed in three sections, how much can be made if the stadium sells out?

Answer 1

If it is equally distrubuted in 3 sections then we would divide 15,000 by 3. Now we take one section which would cost $10.00 and multiply it by the 5,000 since we divided. We would do the same with all three and then add it together.

$10 * 5,000 = $50,000 section one can sell this much
$12.50 * 5,000 = $62,500 section two can sell this much
$15 * 5,000 = $75,000 section three can sell this much

If all the seats are sold than 50k + 62.5k + 75k = $187,500 can be made
