Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that 520 tickets will be sold in the first 5 hours of the tickets go on sale.

Hence, option A is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the tickets to a concert went on sale at 10 a.m. by 12 p.m.

• 10 a.m. by 12 p.m means the total number of hours = 2 hours

Given that the tickets sold in 2 hours = 208

Thus,

Unit rate = 208 tickets / 2 hours

              = 104 tickets per hour

Therefore,

Tickets sold in the first 5 hours of the tickets go on sale:

104 × 5 = 520 tickets

Therefore, we conclude that 520 tickets will be sold in the first 5 hours of the tickets go on sale.

Hence, option A is true.
