Answer: $2187 was earned in ticket sales
Step-by-step explanation:
At the play, the total number of guests seated on the main floor is 211. If tickets for the main floor
cost $7, it means that the total cost of 211 ticket s is
211 × 7 = $1477
the total number of guests that were seated in the balcony is 142. If tickets for the main floor
cost $5, it means that the total cost of 142 tickets is
5 × 142 = $710
Therefore, the total amount of money earned in ticket sales is
1477 + 710 = $2187
