To determine the total amount of money raised from the 100 tickets sold during the charity concert, let's break down the solution step-by-step.
1. Number of Adult and Child Tickets Sold:
- We know there were 100 tickets sold in total.
- Let's assume 60 of these tickets were sold to adults and the remaining 40 tickets were sold to children.
2. Calculate Revenue from Adult Tickets:
- The price of an adult ticket is £18.00.
- The number of adult tickets sold is 60.
- The revenue from adult tickets can be calculated by multiplying the number of adult tickets by the price per adult ticket:
[tex]\[
\text{Revenue from adult tickets} = 60 \times £18.00 = £1080.00
\][/tex]
3. Calculate Revenue from Child Tickets:
- The price for a child ticket is £12.50.
- The number of child tickets sold is 40.
- The revenue from child tickets can be calculated by multiplying the number of child tickets by the price per child ticket:
[tex]\[
\text{Revenue from child tickets} = 40 \times £12.50 = £500.00
\][/tex]
4. Calculate Total Revenue:
- The total money raised is the sum of the revenue from adult tickets and the revenue from child tickets:
[tex]\[
\text{Total money raised} = £1080.00 + £500.00 = £1580.00
\][/tex]
Therefore, the total amount of money raised from selling 100 tickets (60 adult tickets and 40 child tickets) at the charity concert is £1580.00.
