Question

Tickets at a school play cost $4 in advance or $5 at the door. Total ticket sales for an evening production were $440. If no tickets were sold in advance, write and solve a linear equation to find the how many were sold at the door

Answer 1

5x=440
×=the number of tickets sold

then you woukd just divide 440÷5=88
88 tickets were sold at the door

Answer 2

Answer : The number of tickets sold at the door were, 88 tickets

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that the cost of school play tickets in advance is $4 and at the door is $5. Total cost of ticket sales for an evening production were, $440.

Let the number of tickets sold at the door be, x

So, The equation will be:

$5x=440$

$x=\frac{440}{5}$

$x=88$

Thus, the number of tickets sold at the door were, 88 tickets
