Question

tickets for the drama club's performance last weekend cost 2.50 dollars for adults and $2 for students. 420 adults attended the performance and 273 students attended. What was the total amount of money collected from tickets for the performance last weekend

Answer 1

Cost of tickets for Adults = $2.50

Cost of tickets for Students = $2

Number of Adults = 420

Number of students = 273

So,

`\begin{gathered} \text{The cost of 420 adults = 420}*2.50 \\ \text{The cost of 420 adults = 1050 Dollars} \\ \text{Cost of 273 students = 273}*2 \\ \text{Cost of 273 students = }546\text{ dollars} \\ \text{Total cost = Cost of 273 students + Cost 420 adults} \\ \text{Total cost = 1596} \end{gathered}`

So, the total cost of tickets = $1596

Answer : $1596okay
