Which is the best estimate for the number of tickets sold?


Group of answer choices


30,000


4,000


2,000


3,000
How many tickets did the theater sell?

Answer 1

3,000 since 29,886 is about 30,000 which you divide by 8.50 for 3000

Answer 2

3,516

Explanation:

29,866 divided by 8.50 gave me this answer.

So it would be B, 4,000. The reason for this is its closer to 4,000 than it is 3,000 by 16.
