Question

At Cineplex Ocho it costs $12 for each adult ticket and $9 for each student ticket. The expression 12a+9s can be used to find the ticket sales in dollars. For the last showing, 64 adult tickets and 84 student tickets were sold. What was the total ticket sales for the showing?

Answer 1

$1524

Explanation:

Total ticket sold = number of adult tickets sold + number of children tickets sold

64 + 84 = 148 tickets

Total amount made = 12 (64)+9(84) = 768 + 756 = $1524
