Question

The football team is selling tickets for their next two home games. They also sell food at the concession stand during the games. They plan to save 30% of the money from all ticket sales and concession stand sales for their summer camp. Ticket and concession sales for two home games are represented in the table, where t represents the cost of a ticket. If tickets cost $5, how much money will the football team have for their summer camp?

Home Game....................Ticket and Concession
Sales

Week 1.........................................(75t + 130)

Week 2........................................(82t + 115)​

Answer 1

Answer: $309

Explanation:

The total earnings for Week 1 is
`75(5)+130=\$505`.

The total earnings for Week 2 is
`82(5)+115=\$ 525`.

Thus, the total earnings over both weeks is
`505+525=\$1030`.

30% of this is saved, which is equal to
`(1030)(0.3)=\$ 309`.
