Question

The school theater department made $2,142 on ticket sales for the three nights of their play. The department sold the same number of tickets each night and each ticket cost $7. How many tickets did the theater department sell each0 night?

Answer 1

I simply divided 7 into 2,142 n got my answer of 306

Answer 2

102- you need to divide 2,142 by seven (for the seven dollars per ticket) then divide by 3 (for the 3 days).
