Question

At an amusement park, 40 percent of the tickets were sold in the first hour. If 800 tickets were sold in the first hour, which equation can be used to find the total number of tickets sold for the entire day?

Answer 1

The equation
`(800)/(0.4) = t` can be used.


`t` is the total number of tickets.

So according to the equation the total number of tickets is 2.000.

Answer 2

40% = 0.40

800 / 0.40 = 2000 total tickets were sold
