Question

The Boston Sports Club organized a fundraising at the Lyric Stage Company of Boston and brought in $1525 revenue. This included the Lyric Stage Company ticket sales and income from selling t-shirts at the Lyric Stage Company. If the Lyric Stage Company ticket cost $ 10 and t-shirt sale brought in $525, how many tickets were sold?

Answer 1

The number of tickets sold is 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of tickets sold, we need to subtract the t-shirt sale revenue from the total revenue. The t-shirt sale revenue is $525. So, the ticket sale revenue would be $1525 - $525 = $1000. Since each ticket costs $10, we can find the number of tickets sold by dividing the ticket sale revenue by the ticket cost. Therefore, the number of tickets sold is $1000 / $10 = 100 tickets.
