60 times 275
45 times 369
Add the answers you get for each multiplication and you will have your answer
That should give you your answer.
(356 * 80) + (275 * 60) + (369 * 45) = ?
To find out how much money the box office took in, we need to calculate the total revenue from selling each type of ticket and then add them together.
The revenue from selling 356 tickets at $80 apiece is 356 * $80 = $<<356*80=28480>>28,480.
The revenue from selling 275 tickets at $60 apiece is 275 * $60 = $<<275*60=16500>>16,500.
The revenue from selling 369 tickets at $45 apiece is 369 * $45 = $<<369*45=16605>>16,605.
Adding up the revenues from each type of ticket, we get $28,480 + $16,500 + $16,605 = $<<28480+16500+16605=61685>>61,585.
Therefore, the box office took in $61,585.
So, the correct answer is C. $61,585.
To find the total amount of money the box office took in, we need to calculate the sum of the revenue from each ticket category.
For the tickets sold at $80 apiece, the revenue would be: 356 tickets * $80 = $28,480
For the tickets sold at $60 apiece, the revenue would be: 275 tickets * $60 = $16,500
For the tickets sold at $45 apiece, the revenue would be: 369 tickets * $45 = $16,605
Now, we can find the total revenue by adding up the revenue from each ticket category:
$28,480 + $16,500 + $16,605 = $61,585
Therefore, the correct answer is C. $61,585
