Question
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)
If 2/3 of the tickets sold were adult tickets, then 1/3 of the tickets sold were children's tickets.
Let x be the cost of the children's tickets.
Since the children's tickets cost 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets, then x = (2/3) * 13.95.
So, x = 9.30.
Therefore, the theater made 1/3 * 345 * 9.30 = $<<1/3*345*9.3=1035.75>>1035.75 from the sale of children's tickets. Answer: \boxed{1,035.75}.
