The movie theater sold 345 tickets to a show. If 2/3 of the tickets sold were adult tickets, which cost $13.95 each, how
much money did the theater make from the sale of children's tickets if they cost 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets? Answer with a dollar amount rounded to the nearest hundredth, placing commas in appropriate places. (1 point)
The number of adult tickets sold is 2/3 * 345 = <<2/3*345=230>>230 tickets
The price of the adult tickets is 230 * $13.95 = $<<230*13.95=3208.5>>3208.5
The price of the children's tickets is $13.95 * 2/3 = $<<13.95*2/3=9.3>>9.3
The number of children's tickets sold is 345 - 230 = <<345-230=115>>115 tickets
Therefore, the movie theater made $9.3 * 115 = $1069.5 from the sale of children's tickets. Answer: \boxed{1069.5}.
To find the number of adult tickets sold, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of tickets sold.
2/3 * 345 = 230 adult tickets sold
The cost of each adult ticket is given as $13.95. So the total revenue from adult tickets can be found by multiplying the number of adult tickets sold by the price per ticket:
230 * $13.95 = $3208.50
To find the cost of each children's ticket, we need to calculate 2/3 of the cost of the adult ticket:
2/3 * $13.95 = $9.30
Now we need to find the number of children's tickets sold.
The total number of tickets sold is 345, and we know that 2/3 of the tickets are adult tickets. Therefore, 1/3 of the tickets must be children's tickets:
1/3 * 345 = 115 children's tickets sold
To find the revenue from children's tickets, we multiply the number of children's tickets sold by the cost per ticket:
115 * $9.30 = $1069.50
Therefore, the theater made $1069.50 from the sale of children's tickets.
To find the amount of money the theater made from the sale of children's tickets, we first need to find out how many adult tickets were sold. We know that 2/3 of the total tickets sold were adult tickets.
Step 1: Calculate the number of adult tickets:
Number of adult tickets = (2/3) * 345 tickets
Number of adult tickets = 230 tickets
Now, we need to find the cost of children's tickets. The cost of children's tickets is 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets.
Step 2: Calculate the cost of children's tickets:
Cost of children's tickets = (2/3) * $13.95
Cost of children's tickets = $9.30
Finally, we need to find the total amount of money made from the sale of children's tickets.
Step 3: Calculate the total amount of money made from the sale of children's tickets:
Total amount from children's tickets = Cost of children's tickets * Number of children's tickets
Total amount from children's tickets = $9.30 * 115 tickets
Total amount from children's tickets = $1070.50
Therefore, the theater made $1070.50 from the sale of children's tickets.
