Question

Suppose you are selling tickets at bright house stadium for a football game. The stadium has 45,300 seats. Tickets in section A sell for $25, section B sell for $20, and general seats sell for $15. If you sell all the tickets, how much money will you make?

1) $1,132,500
2) $906,000
3) $679,500
4) $452,000

Answer 1

To calculate the total revenue from selling tickets, we need to determine the number of tickets sold in each section and multiply it by the corresponding ticket price. The closest option to the correct answer is option 2) $906,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total revenue from selling tickets, we need to determine the number of tickets sold in each section and multiply it by the corresponding ticket price. In section A, there are 45,300 seats. Let's assume all seats in section A are sold at $25 per ticket. Therefore, the revenue from section A would be $25 * 45,300 = $1,132,500.

In section B, there are also 45,300 seats. Assuming all seats in section B are sold at $20 per ticket, the revenue from section B would be $20 * 45,300 = $906,000.

For the general seats, we know the total number of seats in the stadium is 45,300. The revenue from the general seats can be calculated by multiplying the ticket price of $15 by the number of general seats. Therefore, the revenue from the general seats would be $15 * 45,300 = $679,500.

To find the total revenue, we add up the revenues from each section: $1,132,500 + $906,000 + $679,500 = $2,718,000.

Therefore, if all the tickets are sold, the total revenue will be $2,718,000. None of the given options perfectly matches this amount, but the closest one is option 2) $906,000.
