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?

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!
