Tickets for the community spaghetti dinner are $5 each for an adult and $3 for children.They have already sold 174 adult tickets and 68 child tickets. How many has been collected so far from the ticket sales?
5 * 174 + 3 * 68
(174 * 5) + (68 * 3) = $________
To find out how much money has been collected from ticket sales so far, you need to calculate the total amount for adult tickets and the total amount for child tickets, and then add them together.
To find the amount collected from adult tickets, you'll multiply the cost per adult ticket ($5) by the number of adult tickets sold (174). So, the calculation would be: $5 * 174 = $870.
Similarly, to find the amount collected from child tickets, you'll multiply the cost per child ticket ($3) by the number of child tickets sold (68). The calculation would be: $3 * 68 = $204.
Finally, to find the total amount collected from ticket sales, add the amount collected from adult tickets ($870) to the amount collected from child tickets ($204). The calculation would be: $870 + $204 = $1074.
Therefore, the community has collected a total of $1074 so far from the ticket sales.
