Last Saturday, the MoviePlex Iheater sold 1,456 tickets. The theater sold 6 times as many regular price tickets as it sold discount tickets. Earl says the expression 1,456 divided by 6 gives the number of discount prices tickets is Earl correct? If not write the correct expression. Explain  your answer.

Sagot :

Well, one divides by 7, actually, because the total number of tickets is 6+1 times the # of discount tickets. That is, 1,456/7. You don't need to actually perform this division.

Answer:

wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

cause 1,456/7= 208

208*6= 1,248 the amount of regular tickets sold

leaving 208 the amount of discount tickets
