Answer 1

1) Well based on what you type, there are two types of containers right? regular size and a smaller size. If he can make 80 containers in an hours, u multiply that by 8 hours and you'll get 640 containers in 8 hours. For smaller containers, he can make 115 smaller containers in an hour. 115 times 8 hours is 920 smaller containers. So in an 8 hour shift, he can make 640 containers and 920 smaller containers. If the "smaller" was a typo, and both containers are the same thing, then just add 640+920 and you'll get 1560.

2. So He sold 328 tickets at $25 each. 119 senior discount tickets at $20 and 256 student discount at $18 each. 328* 25 + 119* 20 + 256*18. The answer will be $15188. Chris made $15188 from selling those tickets.
