Question

On July 4th, dizzyland had 67,000 visitors and collected approximately $2,814,000. how much money should dizzyland expect to receive on New Years Day, when park attendance reaches 71,000 people?

Answer 1

Are you familiar with rates, like "miles PER hour"?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

alright, then you know that rates are simply (something) PER (something else). In this case, it's dollars per person, as you need to solve for how much each person paid for their ticket. So, how would you solve for the cost per ticket?

Answer 4

A proportion?

Answer 5

Yes. So, any ideas about my last question's answer?

Answer 6

y = kx

2814000 = k(67000)
k = 42

y = kx
y = 42*71000
y = 2982000

$2,982,000 is the answer?

Answer 7

Yes!
