Question

Yesterday a theater sold 11 full-price tickets for $89 each and 1 discount ticket for $39.

The theater manager estimates the theater brought in roughly $50 more from full-price tickets than from discount tickets. Is that a good estimate?

Answer 1

Answer: No

Explanation:

Note the wording, it says 11 full-price tickets for 89$ EACH, which means that the total revenue (or gain) from the 11 full-prices is 11*89 or 979, not 89. Hence, the difference is 940.
