Pierre sold 340 tickets for a concert. balcony tickets cost $5 while tickets for the lower floor cost $10. if pierre sold $2,700 worth of tickets, how many lower floor tickets did he sell?

A: 200

B: 175

C: 165

D: 140

A:200

Step-by-step explanation:

$2,700:10=$270-$70

The answer is A. 200.

To find the answer, all we need to do is multiply 200 by 10, and we'll get 2,000, meaning $2,000.

Next, we can multiply 140, the rest of the tickets (since 340 - 200 = 140), by 5, and we'll get 700, meaning $700.

Finally, we add 2,000 and 700 together to get 2,700, or $2,700.
