Answer 1

Answer: $2187 was earned in ticket sales

Explanation:

At the play, the total number of guests seated on the main floor is 211. If tickets for the main floor

cost $7, it means that the total cost of 211 ticket s is

211 × 7 = $1477

the total number of guests that were seated in the balcony is 142. If tickets for the main floor

cost $5, it means that the total cost of 142 tickets is

5 × 142 = $710

Therefore, the total amount of money earned in ticket sales is

1477 + 710 = $2187
