Answer:
$1.475 is the average amount of snack sales per ticket sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Number of popcorn bags sold = 3
Cost of a popcorn bag = $2.25
Total cost of popcorn bag = [tex]2.25\times 3[/tex] = $6.75
Number of soda sold = 4
Cost of a soda = $1.50
Total cost of soda = [tex]1.50\times 4[/tex] = $6.00
Number of candy bars sold = 2
Cost of a candy bar = $1.00
Total cost of candy bars = [tex]1.00\times 2[/tex] = $2.00
Total sales =
Total cost of popcorn + Total cost of soda + Total cost of candy bar
[tex]= 6.75 + 6 + 2\\=\$14.75[/tex]
[tex]\text{Average} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}[/tex]
Average amount of snack sales per ticket sold =
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Total sales}}{\text{Number of tickets}} = \dfrac{14.75}{10} = 1.475[/tex]
Thus, $1.475 is the average amount of snack sales per ticket sold.
