This week, the Laketown Cruise Company took its boat on 19 cruises, carrying the boat's full capacity of 46 guests on each cruise. If each guest paid $22 admission, then how much admission was collected by the company this week?
A) Estimate B) Exact calculation
To calculate the amount of admission collected by the Laketown Cruise Company this week, we can use exact calculation.
Step 1: Determine the number of guests on each cruise.
Given that the boat's full capacity is 46 guests on each cruise.
Step 2: Determine the number of cruises taken.
The question states that the Laketown Cruise Company took its boat on 19 cruises.
Step 3: Calculate the total number of guests.
Multiply the number of guests on each cruise (46) by the number of cruises taken (19).
Total guests = 46 guests/cruise * 19 cruises
Step 4: Calculate the total admission collected.
Multiply the total number of guests by the admission price of $22.
Total admission collected = Total guests * $22
Step 5: Perform the calculation.
Multiply the number of guests per cruise by the number of cruises (46 guests/cruise * 19 cruises) and then multiply by the admission price ($22) to find the total admission collected by the company this week.
