Answer 1

Answer:  It costs $9.75 per ticket for admission to the art museum.

Art museum tickets are more expensive than science museum tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table of Science Museum Admission Revenue, we can see that the sales amount by selling 128 tickets = $1088

Therefore, the cost of each ticket for science museum =$\frac{1088}{128}=\ 8.5$

∴ It costs $8.5 (not 8.75) per ticket for admission to the science museum.

Also,The equation $y = 9.75x$ represents the number of dollars, y, earned by an art museum for selling x tickets.

At x=1, y=9.75

∴  It costs $9.75 per ticket for admission to the art museum.

Clearly, 9.75>8.5

∴ Art museum tickets are more expensive than science museum tickets.

If the number of ticket sales will be same then art museum will earn more revenue.
