Since the theater earned $988 for all adult tickets costing $26 each, we know that they sold:

\dfrac{\$ \,988}{\$ 26 / \textrm{ticket}} = 38 \, \textrm{tickets}


Additionally, since the theater collected $731 for all student tickets costing $17  each, we know they sold:

\dfrac{\$ 731}{\$ 17 / \textrm{ticket}} = 43 \,\textrm{tickets}


The number of tickets sold in total is:

38 \,\textrm{tickets} + 43 \, \textrm{tickets} = \boxed{81 \,\textrm{tickets}}


Thus, it can be assumed (1 person = 1 ticket), that 81 people attended the performance.

So what you would do is divide 988 by 26 and divide 731 by 17 and those two numbers you would add which gives you the amount of people that attended the performance

How to find height of a triangular prism where length is 9, width is 3.5, and height is unknown. Volume is 50.4, and explain ans
riadik2000 [5.3K]
*The width in your question - I assumed it is refers to the height of the triangle base.

Volume of a triangle prism = base area x height

The base is a triangle:
Volume of a triangle prism = (1/2 x base x height₁) x height₂

Plug in the values and solve for height₂:

50.4 = (1/2 x 9 x 3.5) x height

50.4 = 15.75 x height

height = 50.4 ÷ 15.75

height = 3.2 units

-----------------------------------------
Answer: Height = 3.2 units
