Question

A school band gives a year-end concert. It is held in a 400-seat auditorium. Each concert ticket sells for $10, and 85% of the tickets are sold. How much money does the band earn from the sale of the tickets?

Answer 1

Answer: $3,400

Explanation:

There are 400 seats in the auditorium which means that there are 400 tickets to be sold.

85% of these tickets are sold. The number of tickets sold is:

= 85% * 400

= 340 tickets were sold.

Each ticket sells for a total of $10.

The amount of money made from ticket sales is therefore:

= No. of tickets sold * price of ticket

= 340 * 10

= $3,400
