Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At 8:00 am:

350 people purchased admission tickets

Total Admission tickets at 8:00am

= 350 people * $17.50

= $6,125

In the second Hour 20% ore people made a purchase:

20% of 350 = 0.2 * 350

=70 more people

Total cost of purchase in the second hour:

= 70 more people * $ 17.50

= $1,225

Total tickets purchased in the first two hours:

$6,125 + $ 1,225

= $7350

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first hour, 350 people purchased admission tickets. In the second hour, 20% more people purchased admission tickets than in the first hour. This means that the number of people that bought admission tickets in the second hour would be

(20/100 × 350) + 350

= 70 + 350 = 420 people

The total number of tickets purchased in the first two hours is

350 + 420 = 770

Each admission tickets cost $17.50.

Therefore, the total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours is

17.5 × 770 = $13475
