Question

For a given show, a theater charges $80 for a premium ticket and $30 for a regular ticket. If a total of n tickets were sold and p of them were premium tickets, what is the total amount, in dollars, from the sale of regular tickets and premium tickets?

Please explain the process.

Answer 1

50p + 30n

Explanation:

Cost of each premium ticket = $80.

Cost of each regular ticket = $30

Total tickets sold = n

We are told that p tickets were sold. Thus;

Total tickets sold is; p + (n - p)

Thus total amount generated is;

T = 80p + 30(n - p)

T = 50p + 30n
