Answer 1

Explanation:

a. 25% of 5000 tickets = 0.25 x 5000 = 1250 tickets

Total sales of $45 tickets = 1250 x $45 = $56,250

b. 15% of 5000 tickets = 0.15 x 5000 = 750 tickets

Total sales of $35 tickets = 750 x $35 = $26,250

c. General admission tickets = Total tickets - Reserved tickets

= 5000 - 1250 - 750

= 3000 tickets

d. Total sales for general admission tickets = Number of general admission tickets x Price per ticket

= 3000 x $20

= $60,000

e. Total sales = Sales of $45 tickets + Sales of $35 tickets + Sales of general admission tickets

= $56,250 + $26,250 + $60,000

= $142,500
