Step 3: Use the answers from steps 1 & 2 to determine the amount of money the
theater made from the sale of children's tickets.
$ Answer with a dollar amount rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Step 1: Number of children's tickets = 1/3 of 345 = 345 ÷ 3 = 115.

Step 2: Children's ticket price = (2/3) of $13.95 = (13.95 × 2) ÷ 3 = $9.30.

Step 3: Revenue from children's tickets = 115 × $9.30 = $1,069.50.

Answer: $1,069.50
