Question

There are 9 rows of 28 chairs set up for a play. A ticket to play costs $4. How much money will be made on ticket sales if all the seats are sold for the play?

Answer 1

First we have to determine how many chairs there are total. To do this multiply 9 by 28

9*28 = 252

That means you have a total of 252 chairs. Since we can assume that every person who buys a $4 ticket will only sit in one chair, we can say that if all the seats are filled then 252 people bought a ticket

To find the total price multiply the total chairs by the cost per ticket (or chair, which ever way you want to think of it as)

252 * 4 = 1008

You would make $1008

Hope this helped!
