A band that will be the opening act for a concert charges a $700.00 flat fee as well as 16% of all profits from ticket sales. If the band earns $1,200, how much was made in total ticket sales for the show?

The answer is $3,125

If you subtract 1,200-700 you get 500 and if you divide that by 0.16 you get 3,125
