Final answer:
Amber sold 80 tickets on Thursday by selling 40% of the total 200 tickets available for the school play. Therefore the correct answer for the question is 80 tickets on Thursday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amber has a total of 200 tickets to sell for the school play. If she sells 40% of the tickets on Thursday, we can calculate the number of tickets sold as follows:
- Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. Therefore, 40% becomes 0.40.
- Multiply the decimal by the total number of tickets. In this case, 0.40 multiplied by 200 equals 80.
Thus, Amber sells 80 tickets on Thursday.
