Answer:


t(x) =12.5x

Explanation:

Let the number of customers be x

Let amount of x tickets be t(x)

The amount of sales of tickets at a movie theater t(x) varies directly with the number of customers x.

So,
t(x) \propto x


t(x) = kx---A

where k is the constant of proportionality

Fourteen customers paid a total of $175 for tickets.

So, x = 14

y = 175

Substitute the values in A


175 = k(14)


(175)/(14) = k


12.5 = k

Substitute the value of k in A


t(x) =12.5x

Hence an equation can be used to find the ticket sales for x customers is
t(x) =12.5x
