Question

A class of 4th graders sold tickets to their school play. Each of the 23 students in the class sold 44 tickets. The cost of each ticket was $7. How much money did the class earn by selling tickets to the play?

Answer 1

The answer is going to be 308

Answer 2

Find the total number of tickets sold by multiplying the number of students by the number of tickets each student sold:

23 x 44 = 1012 total tickets.

Each ticket sold for $7, now multiply the total tickets sold by the price of a ticket:

1012 x 7 = $7,084 total money
