Question

The cost for a ticket to a play changes based on where

the seat is located. The $225 front-row seats cost three
times as much as a balcony seat. How much do four
balcony seats cost?
$224
$300
$450
$900

Answer 1

$300

Explanation:

Front row: $225

Front row = 3 * balcony

225 = 3 * balcony

balcony = $225/3 = $75

One balcony ticket costs $75.

4 balcony seats = 4 * $75 = $300

Answer: $300
