The tickets for an upcoming ballet cost $54 per person. Mrs. Anastos wants to purchase 16 tickets for her friends. What is the total cost of the tickets?

Question

$540
$546
$810
$864

Answer 1

To find the total cost of the tickets, you can multiply the cost per ticket by the number of tickets:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost per Ticket} \times \text{Number of Tickets} \]

Given that the cost per ticket is $54 and Mrs. Anastos wants to purchase 16 tickets:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 54 \times 16 \]

Calculating this:

\[ 54 \times 16 = 864 \]

Therefore, the total cost of the tickets is $864.
