All movies until 4:00 p.m require a discount ticket, and all movies after 4:00 p.m require a regular-price ticket.Each theater a
t the movieplex seats 98 people. What is the least number of showings the theater could have shown after 4:00 p.m last Saturday ? Explain how you found your answer
I'm guessing that there's more information missing from this question than is given ... quite an accomplishment. It's as if I were to ask you: "I live in Chicago, work as an engineer, and my car is blue. How old am I ? Explain how you found your answer."
We need to know something about how much a discount ticket costs, and/or how much a regular-price ticket costs, and/or how much the theater took in at the box office last Saturday.
Working with all the information given in the question, the least possible number of showings after 4:00 PM could have been zero, if the operators shut the doors at 4:00 PM and went home. ___________________________________
After reading the question again, more carefully this time, I'll also need to know how many theaters there are in that movieplex, and if Saturday's box-office take refers to the whole movieplex, or to only one theater.
