What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

At the Saturday matinee, 350 people attended the show.

The total number of people who watched the show on Saturday = 350

For the Saturday evening performance, 40% more people attended the performance.

350 x 40%

= 350 x 0.4

= 140

Total people will be = 350 + 140 = 490

If the average cost of tickets was $182
