Question

A stadium has 20,000 reserved seats and 25,000 general admission seats. If reserved seats are $17.50 and general admission seats are $10.75, how much money would be taken in if tickets for all the seats were sold?

Answer 1

Total Ticket Sales is $618,750

Given:
Reserved Seats = 20,000
Cost of tickets in reserved seats = 17.50
General Admission Seats = 25,000
Cost of tickets in gen. admission seats = 10.75

Find: Total sales if all tickets were sold.

Reserved Seats = 20,000 * 17.50 = 350,000
Gen. Admission Seats = 25,000 * 10.75 = 268,750
Total Sales (reserved + gen. admission) 618,750
