Ignacio Haney · Answer 1

Yes, the estimated amount of money at 6,400 was close since the actual amount of money made was 6,408.

Step-by-step explanation:

37 * 23 = 851 (total amount of seats)

851 - 200 = 651 (amount of adult seats sold)

200 * 6 = 1,200 (money recieved from selling child seats)

651 * 8 = 5,208 (money received for selling adult seats)

1,200 + 5,208 = 6,408 (all money earned in total)

Jeremiah Gilbert · Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of seats=37*23=851

adult seats=851-200=651

money raised for adults=651*8=5208

money raised from 200 child tickets=200*6=1200

total amount raised=5208+1200=6408

actually raised money=6400

which is close to exact money.
