Answer 1

The total amount of tickets sold for the $45 tickets is 1250. The total amount of tickets sold for the $35 tickets is 750. The total amount in sales for the $35 tickets is $26,250.

Step-by-step explanation:

7) Total amount of tickets sold for the $45 tickets:

The percentage of $45 tickets sold is 25%, and there were a total of 5000 tickets sold. So, the number of $45 tickets sold is 25% of 5000 which is (25/100) * 5000 = 1250 tickets.

8) Total amount of tickets sold for the $35 tickets:

The percentage of $35 tickets sold is 15%, and there were a total of 5000 tickets sold. So, the number of $35 tickets sold is 15% of 5000 which is (15/100) * 5000 = 750 tickets.

9) Total amount of tickets sold for the general admission tickets:

The remaining tickets after selling the reserved seats are the general admission tickets. So, the number of general admission tickets sold is 5000 - 1250 - 750 = 3000 tickets.

10) Total amount in sales for the $35 tickets:

To find the total amount in sales for the $35 tickets, we multiply the number of $35 tickets sold by the price of each ticket. So, the total amount in sales for the $35 tickets is 750 * $35 = $26,250.
