Question

Elena works at the ticket booth of a local play house. On the opening night of the play, tickets are $10 each. The playhouse has already sold $300 worth of tickets during a presale. How many tickets must Elena sell In order for the play house to make a total of $900?​

Answer 1

Elena must sell 90 tickets to earn $900

Explanation:

Divide the total money needed by how much each ticket costs:

900 ÷ 10 = 90

If you're talking about how many more tickets are needed:

Subtract the total tickets needed by how many tickets Elena already sold

90 - 30 = 60 more tickets needed

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

Elena needs to sell 60 tickets
