Question

The movie theater sold 345 tickets to a show. If 2/3 of the tickets sold were adult tickets, which cost $13.95 each, how much money did the theater make from the sale of children’s tickets if they cost 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets? Answer with a dollar amount rounded to the nearest hundredth, placing commas in appropriate places.

Answer 1

If the children's tickets cost 2/3 of the total amount of adult tickets then the total cost of children's tickets will be $2,139. If rounded to the nearest hundredth the answers will be $2,000.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 1,069.5

Step-by-step explanation: First you want to find the number of adults. We know that 2/3 of the 345 people are adults. 2/3 x 345 is 230 adults. If you subtract 345 from 230, you get 115 kids.

To find the cost of the tickets, we know that the kid's tickets cost 2/3 the number of adults tickets (13.95). 2/3 x 13.95 is $9.3.

If there's 115 kids and each ticket costs $9.3, 115 x 9.3 is $1,069.50.
