Question

20. A community is having a Taste of the Town event featuring dishes from the area’s best restaurants. The cost of admission is $25 in advance and $35 at the door. There are x people who pay in advance. A total or 530 tickets are sold. Which equation can be used to find the total amount, s, of money from ticket sales?

Answer 1

18550 - 10x

Explanation:

Given that :

Cost of admission in Advance = $25

Cost of admission at the door = $35

Number of people who paid in advance = x

Total number of tickets sold = 530

Total amount made from ticket sales will be :

(Number who paid in advance * cost) + (number who paid at the door * cost)

(25 * x) + (530 - x) * 35

25x + 18550 - 35x

18550 - 10x
