Question

For the Black Panther Trip 420 students were scheduled to go. After collecting more parent surveys, 15% more students are going on the trip. Each admission ticket cost $22.75. What was the total amount paid for all the tickets purchased?

Answer 1

Answer: $ 10,988.25

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to multiply the original number of students scheduled to go to the trip (420) by the added students’ percentage (15%) in decimal form (divided by 100)

420 x (15/100) = 420 x 0.15 = 63 students added

Adding the number of extra students to the original number:

420+63 = 483 students (total number of students)

Finally, we have to multiply the result by the cost of each admission ticket (22.75)

483 x 22.75 = $ 10,988.25
