At the school fair, 157 tickets were sold. The tickets cost $3 apiece. the goal was to make $300 in ticket sales. By how much was the goal exceeded ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

157 times 3 will give you the amount earned, so go ahead and do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

471

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then subtract by 300

OpenStudy (anonymous):

171

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the exeeding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, that's right, since the school wanted to only make 300, it exceeded the income, or whatever you wanna call it so subtract 300 from 471

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean 171 is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
