A community theater sold 8,500 tickets to performances during its first year. By its tenth year, ticket sales had increased by 34%. How many tickets did the theater sell during its tenth year?

Respuesta :

We need to increase 8,500 by 34% 

Therefore, multiply 8,500 by 1.34 

Answer: 11,390 tickets in its 10th year
since it is increasing, you would multiply the original number by 1.34 because it is 134% of its original amount.

8,500*1.34 = 11,390 tickets where sold.
