What are you trying to find?


What is the important information?

Write the equation below. What does the variable represent?

Solve and show work below.

Answer 1

First take not of the total sales and the cost of each ticket.

1,824 and 16

Now setup the equation

16x=1824

To solve this divide 1824 by 16 getting

X=144

x is the total tickets sold

Answer 2

Each ticket (t) costs $16. The band made a total of $1,824 from ticket sales, meaning that 16t=1,824, because the total amount of 16 dollar tickets sold is equal to the total made from ticket sales.

The equation is:

16t=1,824.

You are trying to find the amount of tickets sold by solving the equation.

t stands for the total amount of tickets sold.

Solving the equation:

16t=1,824

Divide both sides by 16.

t=114

114 tickets were sold. 114*16=1,824. This means that when 114 $16 tickets were sold, the band did make $1,824, which shows that 114 is the correct answer.

I hope this helps :)
