Question

· Jackie has $246 to spend on concert tickets. Orchestra seats are $16 each,

mezzanine seats are $12 each, and balcony seats are $10 each. If she buys 4
orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats, how many balcony seats can she afford
to buy?

Answer 1

Answer:
She can buy 11 balcony seats.

Explanation:
She starts with $246. She spends $64 on Orchestra Seats (4 seats x $16 per seat), and $72 on mezzanine seats (6 seats x $12 per seat).

246-64=182
182-72=110

She is left with $110, which she can use to buy 11 $10 balcony seats (110/10=11)
