Write a column vector B representing the admission prices.b. Compute AB, the column vector showing the gross receipts for each theater.c. Find the total revenue collected at the Cinema Center for admission that Sunday afternoon.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Matrix B = $\left[\begin{array}{c}5\\7\\9\end{array}\right]$

b) Matrix AB = $\left[\begin{array}{c}2525\\3620\\2845\\3705\end{array}\right]$

c) $12,695

Step-by-step explanation:

Matrix A = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}225&110&70\\95&160&225\\280&65&110\\0&240&225\end{array}\right]$

a) Matrix B = $\left[\begin{array}{c}5\\7\\9\end{array}\right]$

Gross Receipt = AB

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}225&110&70\\95&160&225\\280&65&110\\0&240&225\end{array}\right]$ . $\left[\begin{array}{c}5\\7\\9\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{c}2525\\3620\\2845\\3705\end{array}\right]$

c) Total revenue is the sum of receipts from 4 cinemas given in part b

Hence,

Total revenue = $2525 + $3620 + $2845 + $3705 = $12,695
