Question

A performer expects to sell 5,000 tickets for and upcoming concert. They plan to make a total of $311,000 in sales from these tickets.
The price from one ticket is 62.20.

How many tickets will they have to sell to make $5,000,000?

Answer 1

Answer:

80,000 tickets.

Hey!

To solve this problem, you really just need to divide 5,000,000 by 62.5 to find the amount of tickets.

However, if this doesn't work for you, you can always simply try and solve for x.

62.5*x=5,000,000

*10 on both sides

Divide by 625 on both sides.

Therefore, X=80,000, or 80,000 tickets will need to be sold.

I hope this helped!
