Question

The number of tickets sold at the Amazing Art Museum on Saturday was 175% of the ticket sales on Friday.

If 2,000 tickets were sold on Friday, how many tickets were sold on Saturday?

On Saturday,
tickets were sold.

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we can find the number of tickets sold on Saturday based on the given percentage and the number of tickets sold on Friday.

From the problem, we know that the number of Saturday tickets is 175% of the number of Friday tickets.

1. Identify the number of Friday tickets sold: \[ \text{Friday tickets sold} = 2000 \]

2. Calculate the number of Saturday tickets sold using the percentage: \[ \text{Saturday tickets sold} = 175% \text{ of Friday tickets} \] \[ \text{Saturday tickets sold} = 1.75 \times \text{Friday tickets sold} \] \[ \text{Saturday tickets sold} = 1.75 \times 2000 \] \[ \text{Saturday tickets sold} = 3500 \]

Thus, the number of tickets sold on Saturday is: \[ \text{Saturday tickets sold} = 3500 \]

So, to complete the sentence:

On Saturday, 3500 tickets were sold.
