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?

1 answer

The number of adult tickets sold is 2/3*315 = <<2/3*315=210>>210 tickets.
The total cost of adult tickets sold is 210*$14.25=$<<210*14.25=2992.5>>2992.5
Each child ticket is sold at 2/3*$14.25=$<<2/3*14.25=9.5>>9.5
The theater sell at 9.5*$14.25 = $<<9.5*14.25=135.375>>135.375 worth of children's tickets. Answer: \boxed{135.375}.
