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 answer

The number of adult tickets sold is 2/3 of the total tickets sold, which is (2/3)*345 = <<(2/3)*345=230>>230 tickets
If each adult ticket costs $13.95, the theater made 230*$13.95 = $<<230*13.95=3208.50>>3208.50 from the sale of adult tickets.
The price of a children's ticket is 2/3*13.95, which is (2/3)*$13.95 = $<<2/3*13.95=9.30>>9.30
The theater made 345-230 = <<345-230=115>>115 from the sale of children's tickets.
The theater made 115*$9.30 = $<<115*9.30=1069.50>>1069.50 from the sale of children's tickets. Answer: \boxed{1,069.50}.
