Question

During the first 3 days of a movie

showing, 356 women and 329 men
bought tickets. At that rate, how many
more women than men will buy tickets
during the first 7 days?

Answer 1

63 more women than men.

Explanation:

Let's start by finding out how many women and men on average buy tickets per day:

For women: (356 tickets) / (3 days) = 118.67 tickets per day

For men: (329 tickets) / (3 days) = 109.67 tickets per day

So on average, 9 more women than men buy tickets per day.

To find out how many more women than men will buy tickets during the first 7 days, we need to multiply the difference per day by the number of days:

9 (more women per day) x 7 (days) = 63
