Question

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 point)

1 answer

Let's first determine how many adult tickets were sold. Given that 2/3 of the tickets sold were adult tickets:

\[ \text{Adult tickets} = \frac{2}{3} \times 345 = 230 \]

Next, we find out how many children's tickets were sold:

\[ \text{Children's tickets} = 345 - 230 = 115 \]

The cost of an adult ticket is $13.95. To find the cost of a children's ticket, which is 2/3 of the adult ticket price:

\[ \text{Children's ticket price} = \frac{2}{3} \times 13.95 = \frac{27.90}{3} = 9.30 \]

Now, we calculate the total money made from children's ticket sales:

\[ \text{Total from children's tickets} = 115 \times 9.30 = 1,069.50 \]

Thus, the theater made \($1,069.50\) from the sale of children's tickets.

The final answer is:

\[ \boxed{1,069.50} \]
