To find the number of tickets sold on Saturday, we first need to calculate 175% of the 2,000 tickets sold on Friday.
- Calculate 175% of 2,000: \[ 175% = \frac{175}{100} = 1.75 \] \[ \text{Tickets sold on Saturday} = 2,000 \times 1.75 = 3,500 \]
Now we can evaluate the statements based on this result (3,500 tickets):
-
The answer will be less than 2,000 because 100 is less than 175.
- False. The answer (3,500) is greater than 2,000.
-
The answer will be greater than 2,000 because 175 is greater than 100.
- True. Since 175% of 2,000 is calculated as greater than 2,000, this statement holds.
-
The answer will be equal to the sum of 2,000 and 175.
- False. The sum of 2,000 and 175 is 2,175, which is not equal to 3,500.
-
The answer will be equal to the product of 175 and 20.
- False. The product of 175 and 20 is 3,500, so this statement appears true; however, it is based on how we interpret it. If we were looking for the calculation directly relative to tickets, it doesn't express the relationship we seek.
-
The answer will be equal to the quotient of 2,000 and 175.
- False. The quotient of 2,000 and 175 is approximately 11.43, which is not equal to 3,500.
Summary:
The true statements are:
- The answer will be greater than 2,000 because 175 is greater than 100.
- The answer will be equal to the product of 175 and 20. (If interpreted correctly in terms of multiplying percentages, although it seems a bit misplaced in context).
The correct answer set includes only the second statement clearly.
