Answer 1

To calculate the total income from ticket sales, you need to multiply the number of rows, the number of seats per row, and the price per ticket.

So, the calculation is:

Total Income = Number of Rows x Number of Seats per Row x Price per Ticket

Total Income = 29 rows x 32 seats per row x £19.75 per ticket

Total Income ≈ 29 x 32 x £19.75

Now, let's calculate this:

Total Income ≈ £182,816

So, the estimate for the total income from ticket sales is approximately £182,816.

Among the given options, the closest estimate is (a) £183,280.

Answer 2

29(32)(£19.75) = £18,328

30(30)(£20) = £18,000, so £18,328 is the exact answer.

The exact answer is A.

The estimated answer is B.
