Answer: $3,400

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 400 seats in the auditorium which means that there are 400 tickets to be sold.

85% of these tickets are sold. The number of tickets sold is:

= 85% * 400

= 340 tickets were sold.

Each ticket sells for a total of $10.

The amount of money made from ticket sales is therefore:

= No. of tickets sold * price of ticket

= 340 * 10

= $3,400
