Question

A theater sells t tickets at a price of p dollars each. The theater conducts a survey and predicts that if the price of each ticket is changed by $2, the number of tickets sold will change by 15 tickets. If n is the number of times the theater changes the ticket price by $2, the expression (p+2n)(t-15n) can represent the theaters's total revenue, in dollars. In this expression, what does (t-15n) represent?

Answer 1

(p+2n)(t-15n)

t= number of tickets sold

p= price of each ticket

n= number of times the theater changes the ticket price by 2

(t-15n)

Is the number of tickets the theater will sell if the ticket price is decreased by $15n
