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

1 answer

nearest whole number.
2/3 of 345 tickets is (2/3)*345 = <<(2/3)*345=230>>230 tickets
The adult tickets cost $13.95 each so 345 adult tickets cost 230*$13.95 = $<<230*13.95=3208.5>>3,208.5
The children’s tickets cost 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets so they cost (2/3)*$13.95 = $<<2/3*13.95=9.3>>9.3 each
The theater sold 230 adult tickets and the same amount of children’s tickets for a total of 2*230 = <<230*2=460>>460 tickets sold
The theater made all that money sold on the sale of the adult tickets equal to $3,208.5 so the total sale of the children’s tickets was $3,208.5-$3,208.5=<<3208.5-3208.5=0>>0. Answer: \boxed{0}.
