Question

At a movie theater, there were 7 kids

for every 2 adults. If kids tickets cost $5
and adult tickets cost $8, how much
money did the theater make if there
were 54 people in the theater?

Answer 1

There are 12 adults and 42 kids, which in total cost $306

Answer 2

$306

Explanation:

Adult cost = no of adult × adult cost

no of adult = 12

adult tickets cost = $8

= 12 x $8

= $96

kids cost = no of kids x kids tickets cost

no of kids = 42

kids tickets cost = $5

= 42 x $5

= $210

total sales for the theatre =$96 +$210

= $306
