The total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours be $13475 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A museum opened at 8:00 a.m. In the first hour, 350 people purchased admission tickets.

Each admission ticket cost $17.50.

Money collected in first hour from admission ticket = 350 × 17.50

                                                                                      = $ 6125

In the second hour, 20% more people purchased admission tickets than in the first hour. Each admission ticket cost $17.50.

20% is written in the decimal form

= 0.20

More people purchased admission tickets = 0.20 × 350

                                                                       = 70

Total people purchase admission ticket in second hour = People purchase addmission ticket in first hour + More people purchased admission tickets

Total people purchase admission ticket in second hour = 350 + 70

                                                                                              = 420

Money collected from admission second hour = 420 × 17.50

                                                                             = $ 7350

Total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours = Money collected in first hour from admission ticket + Money collected from admission ticket second hour

Put the value in the above

Total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours = $6125 + $735

         = $13475

Therefore the total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours be $13475 .
