The members of the Historical Society sold a number of tickets to the Easton town picnic and raised $240 from the sale.
What ticket price?
If the Society has lowered its price by $2 a ticket, the members would have needed to sell 20 more tickets to earn the $240.
How many tickets sold is variable, different values, in both situations.
The main question is, how many tickets actually were sold. Give this a variable, maybe n. Cost or actually REVENUE is the same for the actual and for the conditional parts.
TICKET PRICE DONE:
CONDITIONAL LOWER PRICE:
dollars per ticket
CONDITIONAL HOW MANY TICKETS SOLD:
Twenty more of them.
THE CONDITIONAL REVENUE FOR SALES:
Reminder: The actual revenue is the same as the hypothetical revenue, according to the problem description. Both are for $240.
