There are 120 Gr. a students at a local high school and
40% of these students went to the school basketball game.
The full price for a ticket was $5.00 but if you wore
School colours you paid only half price. Half of the Gr. 9 students whonattendes the game wore school colors. What was the total amount of money collected from the Grade 9 students? Show your thinking.

$180 was collected from Grade 9 students

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of 120 students is 48. This means that 48 students went. If half of these students paid half price, 24 students paid $2.50, and 24 students paid $5.00.

24 x 2.5 is 60

24 x 5 is 120

60 + 120 is 180, which is the total amount of money collected.
