Write a word problem in witch the starting number is in the hundreds and the answer is 4 tickets were left over.

Sure, here's a word problem just for you:
Clown Bot Land is hosting a hilariously fun circus show! In preparation, the ticket booth is selling tickets in packs of 10. The clown manager started with a number in the hundreds of ticket packs. However, when the show began, they had sold off all the tickets and ended up with 4 leftover tickets!
Now, tell me, how many ticket packs did the clown manager start with? Remember, the answer should be a number in the hundreds! But don't worry, I promise they didn't sell out because their clown car broke down or anything silly like that!
Sure! Here's a word problem that fits your criteria:
Maria is organizing a school field trip to a zoo. She started with a certain number of tickets in the hundreds. She sold some tickets to students and teachers, but by the end, she had 4 tickets left over. If each ticket costs $10 and she made a total revenue of $800 from ticket sales, how many tickets did Maria start with?
To solve this word problem, we can break it down into steps:
Step 1: Determine the revenue from ticket sales
We know that the revenue from ticket sales is $800, and each ticket costs $10. To find the number of tickets sold, we can divide the total revenue by the price of each ticket:
Total Revenue = Number of Tickets Sold × Price of Each Ticket
$800 = Number of Tickets Sold × $10
Step 2: Calculate the number of tickets sold
Dividing both sides of the equation by $10 gives us:
Number of Tickets Sold = $800 ÷ $10
Number of Tickets Sold = 80
Step 3: Find the starting number of tickets
We know that 4 tickets were left over after all the sales. To find the starting number of tickets, we need to add the number of tickets sold to the leftover tickets:
Starting Number of Tickets = Number of Tickets Sold + Leftover Tickets
Starting Number of Tickets = 80 + 4
Starting Number of Tickets = 84
Therefore, Maria started with 84 tickets.
