Question

During a theater matinee show, the power went out. The theater manager refunded the

ticket price to everyone attending. Let n represent the number of people attending the
show. Let r represent the total amount of money refunded. Wite an equation to represent
the amount of money refunded.
Ticket Price Board
Adults
$13.00
Children & Seniors
$11.00
Matinees: All Ages
$9.00

Answer 1

r = 9n

Explanation:

Ticket price of each tickets for the matinee show = $9 for all ages

If the number of persons who attended the matinee show = n

And the total amount refunded = r

Then the expression representing total amount refunded 'n' in terms of 'r' will be,

Total amount refunded = Price of ticket × Number of tickets

r = 9n
