Question

The Summerfield Opera House sold 22,200 tickets this year, but it has been experiencing a 6% drop in sales from one year to the next. If this trend continues, then how many tickets will the opera house sell 2 years from now?
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Each year sales multiply by 0.94. After 2 years: 22,200 × 0.94^2 = 22,200 × 0.8836 ≈ 19,615.92.
Rounded to the nearest whole ticket: 19,616 tickets.
