Please help!

Answer 1

The average price of both the yankee and red sock is $52.40. Here is how we know when so the tickets to look is the one where there is 6 yankees tickets and 2 red socks tickets. You then multiple the total amount by the percent of cards that are yankees and then red socks. It would look like this 6/8 yankees= .75 x 417.74 and 2/8 = .25 x 417.74. What you get is that 6 yankee tickets = $313.30 and the 2 red socks =$104.44. What you then do to find the average price for the individual ticket divide the two price by the amount of each ticket.

I hope this helps
