Question

If the museum earns $1575 by selling 5 tickets, the cost of 1 ticket will be

• A. $305
• B. $310
• C. $315
• D. $320

Answer 1

The correct option is C $315

Total number of tickets $=5$.

Total cost of $5$ tickets $=\$1575$.

∴ The cost of $1$ ticket is:
$=\$1575÷5$.

We will follow box method to do the division process.

Now, the number $1575$ in its expanded form can be written as:
$1575=1000+500+70+5$.

So, upon dividing, we get the following:

Adding up the partial quotients, we get the final quotient as $200+100+10+5=315$.

Hence, the cost of $1$ ticket is $\$315$.
