A refrigeration company held a 2-hour training program for 5 employees. The employees were all paid their regular wages for the
time they were released from their regular work. These wages totaled $340 for the group. Refreshments were served at a total cost of $5 per person. The program instructor’s fee was $75. Supplies, including new procedure manuals, were provided to each employee for a total of $250. What was the total cost for the seminar to the nearest cent?
The solution to the question how much was the total cost for the seminar is shown below:
Cost 1 = $ 340 for the total wages for the group cost 2 =$5 x 5 employees, this is for the refreshments cost 3 = $75 for the instructors fee cost 4 = $250 for the supplies and others
Total cost = cost1 +cost2 +cost3 + cost 4 Total cost = $340 + ($5*5) + $75 + 250 Total cost = $690
Lets say the number of adult tickets is x. This means the number of student tickets is 2x. So, 2x + x = 285, or 3x =285. The means x = 95. So the number of adult tickets sold is 95.
