Question

A school auditorium has a seating capacity of 800. For an upcoming event tickets cost $6 for adults and &4 for students. At last years play, three times as many students attended as adults. If the attendance at this years play has a similar ratio how many will be earned if the auditorium is filled to capacity?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3600 will be generated from the ticket costs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults attending the event be x.

Therefore, the number of students' attending the event= 3x.

As the auditorium has to be filled to full capacity and total there are 800 number of seats, so

$3x+x=800$

$4x=800\\\\x=200$

Therefore, 200 adults will attend the event and 600 students will attend the event.

Revenue generated from 200 adults= 200*6= $1200

Revenue generated from 600 students= 600*4=$2400

Total revenue=$3600
