Question

If 15% of the total ticket sales is $375, what is the value of the total ticket sales?

Answer 1

$2,500 is the total value of ticket sales. If you divide both $375 and 15% by 15, you will get $25/1 . Then, all you need to do to find the total answer is multiply 25 by 100. This may not have made sense to you, but it is the correct answer.

375/15= 25
15/15= 1
25x100=  2500

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the total ticket sales is, 2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total ticket sales.

As per the statement:

if 15% of the total ticket sales is $375

$\text{15 \% of total ticket} = \frac{15}{100} \times x = \frac{15x}{100}$

then;

$\frac{15x}{100} = 375$

Divide both sides by 15 we have;

$\frac{x}{100} =25$

multiply both sides by 100 we have;

x = 2500

Therefore,  the value of the total ticket sales is, 2500
