The movie theater sold 345 tickets to a show. If 23 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 23 of the amount of adult tickets? Answer with a dollar amount rounded to the nearest hundredth, placing commas in appropriate places. (1 point) Responses
A. $230.00
B. $9.30
C. $2,139.00
D. $1,069.50
If 23 tickets were sold and each adult ticket cost $13.95, then the theater made 23 * $13.95 = $<<23*13.95=320.85>>320.85 from the sale of adult tickets.
The cost of children's tickets is 23/1 = $<<23/1=23>>23 (since they cost 23 times less than adult tickets).
Therefore, the theater made 23/1 * $320.85 = $7372.55 from the sale of children's tickets.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the theater made $7,372.55 from the sale of children's tickets.
