Xavier Huerta · Answer 2

Total spent: $187.55

Total earned: $318.55

We get the total earned by adding $202.75 from the advanced ticket profit and $116 from the sales total profit.

$202.55+$116=$318.75

From there we take the total earned, $318.75 and subtract it from what they initially spent, $187.55

$318.75-$187.55=$131.02

The total profit they made that day marks up to $131.02
