Answer 1

To determine how much money the theater made from children’s tickets, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the number of adult tickets sold: \[ \text{Adult tickets} = \frac{2}{3} \times 345 = 230 \]

2. Calculate the number of children’s tickets sold: \[ \text{Children's tickets} = 345 - 230 = 115 \]

3. Determine the price of children's tickets: \[ \text{Children's ticket price} = \frac{2}{3} \times 13.95 = 9.30 \]

4. Calculate the total revenue from children’s tickets: \[ \text{Total revenue from children's tickets} = 115 \times 9.30 = 1,069.50 \]

Thus, the theater made $1,069.50 from the sale of children’s tickets.
