A blues musician signed a contract to do a concert at Municipal Auditorium. The contract stated that the musician will receive 40% of the money from ticket sales. Tickets cost $14.35, and 2,318 tickets were sold. How much money should the musician receive from ticket sales?

Respuesta :

Answer: $ 13,305.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total tickets = 2318

Per ticket cost = $14.35

Cost of all tickets = (Total tickets ) x (Per ticket cost )

= (2318) x (14.35)

= $33,263.3

According to the contract, musician will receive 40% of the money from ticket sales.

So, Musician will receive = 40% of (Cost of all tickets)

= 0.40 x 33263.3

= $ 13,305.32

The musician should receive from ticket sales =  $ 13,305.32
