Math.......Hmmmm?

6. The Main Street Cinema holds 1,356 people. Last Saturday night, they were sold out for two showings of Super Alien 5. There was a special price of $5 for every seat for each showing. How much money did the theater take in that night?


A. $6,780


B. $9,848


C. $13,560


D. $10,888

how you wrote the question down there is no tricks or anything and answer C (13560) would be correct. However, that would make a lame question; are you sure you got everthing?
Reply:Sold out in each show meaning max number of people


1,356max number of people x2shows=2712people saw the shows in all


2712peoplex5 dollers a person=13,560 dollers





Answer C
Reply:C


1356x5x 2 times sold out
Reply:c, COZ 2 SHOWINGS
Reply:It's one night, two shows.


If each show made 7,780, then the answer choice C is correct.
Reply:this one is not a trick question.. it states how much money did they make that night... it says that there were two shows that night so the answer would be c.





Just read carefully and the "trick" questions wont bite you
Reply:It was only one night, but two showings.

Reply:1,356 x 5= 6,780 for one show


6,780 x 2 = $13, 560


It says saturday night they sold 2 showings of that show.


which means that 2 shows went in one night.





therefore it is C
Reply:C.





1,356 x $5= 6,780





6,780 + 6,780= C. 13,560
