Question

A museum shows 3-D movies 5 times a day. The cost is $3.50 per ticket. There are 45 seats in the theater. How much money will the museum receive in one day if all the seats are sold?

I am confused is the answer $787.50 or $157.50.

Answer 1

$787.50

Explanation:

If all of the seats are sold for all of the 5 showings, you have to find the money made from one showing and multiply that by 5.

45×3.50 = $157.50

157.50×5 = $787.50
