Ticket Cost

Question

Of the 650 tickets sold to a movie, 460 were full-price tickets costing $9 each. If the gate receipts were $4,520, what did a student ticket cost?

Answer 1

The Cost of full priced tickets= 460 X $9 = $ 4140

 

Gate receipts= $ 4520

So the cost of students tickets = $ 4520- 4140 = $ 380

number of student tickets= 650- 460 = 190

the cost of a student ticket= $ 380/190 = $2
