A movie theatre has 250 seats. The cost of a ticket is $6 for an adult and $4 for a child. The theatre is full and contains 188 children. What is the total ticket revenue for this movie session?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
The number of adults present is 250 – 188 = 62 adults. The revenue generated by adults is 62 * 6 = $372. The revenue generated by children is 188 * 4 = $752. So the total ticket revenue is 372 + 752 = $1124.
Thus, the answer is 1124.
