Question

A college is selling tickets to an upcoming basketball game, and all tickets are the same price. If they sell 4,000 tickets, they will make a total of $237,200 in sales. 1.) What is the price of 1 ticket? 2.) How much money will they make if they sell 9,000 tickets?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) $59.30

2.) $533,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Find Unit Price:

237,000/4000= 59.30

Multiply By Unit Price:

59.30x9,000= 533,700

Answer 2

Okay so first choose a variable to represent tickets, I’ll use t.
4000t=237200
Divide both sides by 4000 to get your unit price per ticket, which is 59.3.

So this means 1 ticket is $59.30.

To get 9000 tickets money, multiply this by your unit price, which gives $533,700.

Hope this helps
