Question

A performer expects to sell $5000 tickets for an upcoming concert. They plan to make a total of $311000 in sales from these tickets. Assume that all tickets have the same price. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of tickets sold, $x, and the total amount of money (in dollars) that they make, $y.

Answer 1

63 tickets

311000/5000 =62.2

You can’t put 62 because that us less than the value they need. So 63 would be the number because you can’t have a partial ticket.
