Question

If 15% of the total ticket sales is $375, what is the value of the total ticket sales?

Answer 1

$2,500 is the total value of ticket sales. If you divide both $375 and 15% by 15, you will get $25/1 . Then, all you need to do to find the total answer is multiply 25 by 100. This may not have made sense to you, but it is the correct answer.

375/15= 25
15/15= 1
25x100= 2500

Answer 2

The value of the total ticket sales is, 2500

Explanation:

Let x be the total ticket sales.

As per the statement:

if 15% of the total ticket sales is $375

`\text{15 \% of total ticket} = (15)/(100) * x = (15x)/(100)`

then;

`(15x)/(100) = 375`

Divide both sides by 15 we have;

`(x)/(100) =25`

multiply both sides by 100 we have;

x = 2500

Therefore, the value of the total ticket sales is, 2500
