Question

Word Problem!!

A school earned $5100 in ticket sales for a play. The cost per ticket was $12. Let t represent the number of tickets sold to the play. Which of the following equations could be used to determine how many tickets were sold?

A- 12=5100t

B- 12t=5100

C- t=5100-12

D- t=5100(12)

Answer 1

I would say letter b

12t=5100

Because you need to find t.

T=5100/12

T=425

Therefore 425 tickets were sold

Answer 2

So, to find out how many tickets were sold you would need to divide $5,100 by $12. You would get "425" And the answer you would choose for this would be B. I hope it helped. ;)
