Question

The number of people who attend a concert varies directly with the amount of money spent on advertising. If 790 tickets are sold when $2,547.75 is spent on advertising, how much money needs to be spent on advertisements to get a sellout crowd of 1500?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4837.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

790 tickets are sold when $2,547.75 is spent on advertising.

We need to find the money to be spent on advertisements to get a sellout crowd of 1500.

It is also mentioned that the number of people who attend a concert varies directly with the amount of money spent on advertising. Let money be x. So,

$\dfrac{790}{2547.75}=\dfrac{1500}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{2547.75\times 1500}{790}\\\\x=\ 4837.5$

So, $4837.5 is spent on advertisements to get a sellout crowd of 1500
