A local theater sold 624 tickets for a recent performance. If the tickets were $3.00 each, how much money did it collect?

Shelia said $208.

Is Shelia's answer reasonable?

A.
Yes, because 600 ÷ 3 = 200, and 624 tickets were sold, so the answer will be a little more than this estimate.

B.
Yes, because 630 ÷ 3 = 210, and 624 tickets were sold, so the answer will be a little less than this estimate.

C.
No, because 600 • 3 = 1800, and 624 tickets were sold, so the answer will be a little less than this estimate.

D.
No, because 600 • 3 = 1800, and 624

If each ticket is $3 and 624 were sold you would multiply to get your answer of  1,872

baconfuntimes · Answer

lets use process of elimination which is greater 600 or 624

jennithemeani · Answer

if you were to round 624 to 600 it would be 3x600= 1,800

jennithemeani · Answer

It is D A and B divide which would show you how many people bought tickets which is not what you want and C is wrong as well because it is saying the 600 is greater than 624
