Question

A theater group sells tickets to a play. If an adult ticket costs $12.50 and a child ticket costs $8.75, then how much money will the group collect by selling 70 adult tickets and 15 child tickets?

Answer 1

$1,006.25

Explanation:

If you sell 70 adult tickets at $12.50 each, use the equation

12.5*70=875

By using the same equation for kids tickets,

8.75*15=131.25

Then add the sums

875+131.25=1006.25

Hope this helps!
