To estimate the total amount of money paid for the tickets, you need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the total money collected from the sale of the first type of ticket.
2. Calculate the total money collected from the sale of the second type of ticket.
3. Add the totals from step 1 and step 2 to get the estimated total amount of money received from all ticket sales.
Let's calculate.
For the first type of ticket:
- There were 286 tickets sold at £9.75 each.
To calculate the total, you multiply the number of tickets sold by the price per ticket.
Total from first type = Number of tickets * Price per ticket
Total from first type = 286 tickets * £9.75/ticket
Total from first type = £2788.50
For the second type of ticket:
- There were 499 tickets sold at £19.80 each.
Similarly, we multiply the number of tickets by the price per ticket to get the total.
Total from second type = Number of tickets * Price per ticket
Total from second type = 499 tickets * £19.80/ticket
Total from second type = £9880.20
Now, add the totals from both types of tickets to get estimated total sales:
Estimated Total Sales = Total from first type + Total from second type
Estimated Total Sales = £2788.50 + £9880.20
Estimated Total Sales = £12668.70
Therefore, the estimated total amount of money paid for these tickets is £12668.70.
