Question

A jumbo jet carries 310 passengers, 26 in first class, and the remainder in coach. If the average first class ticket is $590 and the average coach ticket is $274, how much gross revenue will the airline receive in
ticket sales if the plane is completely full?

Answer 1

Number of passengers in first class:  26 at $590 each

Number of passengers in coach: 310-26 = 284 at $274 each

 

Total revenue of a full flight:

 

26($590) + 284($274) = $93156
