Question

About 30 million Americans attend classical music concerts . The average concertgoer attends 2.9 concerts per year . About how many tickets to classical concerts are sold each year

Answer 1

87 million tickets are sold every year.

Explanation:

Number of Americans attending classical music concerts:

30 million

Average number of times a spectator attends a concert in a year

2.9 times

Then the amount of tickets sold "x" for concerts of classical music in a year, will be equal to the number of people attending for the number of times they attend. So:

`x= 30 * 2.9`

Where "x" is given in units of millions.

`x = 87`
