The movie theater sold 315 tickets to a show. If 2/3 of the tickets were adult tickets, which cost $14.25 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 round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The number of adult tickets sold is 315 tickets * 2/3 = <<315*2/3=210>>210 tickets
The price for all the adult tickets sold is $14.25/ticket * 210 tickets = $<<14.25*210=2992.5>>2992.5
The cost of children's tickets is $14.25/ticket * 2/3 = $<<14.25*2/3=9.50>>9.50/ticket.
The theater sold 315 tickets - 210 tickets = <<315-210=105>>105 tickets
The amount of money made from the sale of the children's tickets is $9.5/ticket * 105 tickets = $997.50. Answer: \boxed{997.50}.
