Question

The aquarium opened at 8.00 am . In the first hour 140 people purchased admission tickets . In the second hour 25 % more people purchased admission tickets than the first hour . Each ticket cost 15.25 . What was the total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours please help

Answer 1

Total income= $4,083.75

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total number of people that enter the aquarium in the first two hours.

1st hour= 140

2nd hour= 140*1.25= 175

Total number of people= 315

Now, we can determine the total amount of money earned:

Each ticket cost 15.25.

Total income= 315*15.25

Total income= $4,083.75
