155 people pay and 49 of these people are under 16. How much ticket money is collected?​

Answer 1

Answer: 2598.8

Step two: 155-49=106 (the amount of people over 16)
Step three: 106•18.60=1971.6 (the amount of money that people over 16 payed)
Step four: 627.2+1971.6=2598.8 (the total amount of collected money from tickets)
