Question

For a propular Broadway musical the theater box office sold 356 tickets at $80 apiece,275 tickets for $60 apiece and 369 tickes $45 apiece. How much money did the box office take in

Answer 1

The first step to solving this equation would be to how much they made for every apiece. To do this we must multiply the cost of the $80 apiece by how much they sold, as well multiplying the $45 apiece by how many they sold. And also the $60 apiece by the how many they sold.

$80 apiece × 356 tickets = ?

$60 apiece × 275 tickets = ?

$45 apiece × 369 tickets = ?

Now we must solve our equations.

$80 apiece × 356 tickets = $28,480

$60 apiece × 275 tickets = $16,500

$45 apiece × 369 tickets = $16,605

The next step would be to add up all the total costs of each apiece.

$28,480 + $16,500 + $16,605 = $61,585

So our answer is...

The box office took in a total of $61,585
