Question

A theater rents there space for $300 per night. If the company charges $9 per ticket, then what is the least number of tickets that can be sold in order to make a profit?

Answer 1

At least 33 number of tickets can be sold in order to make a profit.

Explanation:

Given:

A theater rents there space for $300 per night.

The company charges $9 per ticket.

Now, to find the least number of tickets that can be sold in order to make a profit.

Amount of rent per night = $300.

Charges of per ticket = $9.

So, to get the least number of tickets sold to get the profit we divide amount of rent per night by charges per ticket:

`300/9`

`=33.33`

Thus, 33 tickets price is 33 × 9 = $297.

Therefore, at least 33 tickets can be sold in order to make a profit.
