Question

The school theater department made $2,142 on ticket sales for the three nights of their play. The department sold the same number of tickets each night and each ticket cost $7. How many tickets did the theater department sell each night?​

Answer 1

Answer:

102 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the total number of tickets sold is n.

7n = 2142

 n = 2142 ÷ 7

 n = 306

They sold 306 tickets in total.

We want to know how much they sold per night. We know they sold the same number of tickets each night for three nights.

306 ÷ 3 = 102

Therefore, they sold 102 tickets each night.

I hope this helps :)
