Answer:
Total amount paid for tickets in the two hours = $10,237.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Ist Hour, 280 tickets were sold at the cost of $16.25
Amount of money made in the first hour= Number of people who purchased ticket x price of a ticket
=280 x 16.25 =$4,550
2nd Hour, 25 % more people purchased ,
which means the total number of people who purchased tickets =
1.25 x 280= 350
Amount of money made in second hour = Number of people who purchased ticket x price of a ticket 350 x 16.25 =$5,687.5
Step 2
Total amount paid for tickets in the two hours = Amount of money made in the first hour +Amount of money made in second hour
=$4,550+ $5,687.5
=$10,237.50
