Question

A theater charges 11 dollars per ticket for a show. However, to put on the show, they rent out an auditorium for $150. If t is the number of tickets sold, write an expression for the amount the theater group will make on the show.

Answer 1

`11t-150`

Explanation:

`t` is the number of tickets. Each ticket costs $11, therefore we can write
`11t`.

We need to subtract the price for the rent of the auditorium to find the amount the theatre makes overall, therefore:

`11t-150`
