Question

A museum opened at 8 AM in the first hour 350 people purchased admission tickets in the second hour 20% more people purchase admission tickets then in the first hour each admission ticket cost $17.50 what was the total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours

Answer 1

Answer:  $13,475

Step-by-step explanation:

1st hour:  350 people bought tickets --> 350 × $17.50 = $6,125

2nd hour: 350(1.2) people bought tickets --> 350(1.2) × 17.50 = $7350

Total amount = 1st hour + 2nd hour

                      = $6,125 + $7,350

                      = $13,475
