2. As student council treasurer, you have the responsibility of keeping track of the ticket money earned from the school play.

Question

A. After the play, Dana, the ticket manager, tells you, "We sold 84 adult tickets and 112 student tickets. The student tickets are only $5 each."

You need to figure out how much money was earned from ticket sales. What information is missing, and why do you need that information to solve this problem?

Make sure no one can find this

Answer 1

To calculate the total money earned from ticket sales, you need to know the price of the adult tickets. While you have the number of adult tickets sold (84) and the number of student tickets sold (112), as well as the price of student tickets ($5 each), without the price of adult tickets, you cannot determine the total revenue from both ticket types.

So, the missing information is the price of the adult tickets. You need that information to accurately calculate the total earnings from all ticket sales.
