Band members make 2/3 of their profit from selling concert tickets. They make 1/5 of their profit from selling band merchandise at the concert. How many times more profit do they make from ticket sales than from merchandise sales? give the explanation please I have to get this done

Respuesta :

Answer: 10/3 (ten-thirds)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing 2/3 profit of selling concert tickets by 1/5 profit from selling band merchandise.

(2/3) / (1/5) = 10/3 = 3 1/3

Hence band members make 3 1/3 or 10/3 times more profit from ticket sales than from band merchandise sales.

This can be elaborated in such a way also.

Let suppose the total profit is $30.

then the profit from the ticket sale = 2/3 of 30 = $20

and the profit from the band merchandise sales = 1/5 of 30 = $6

Now dividing 20 by 6, which gives 10/3. The same answer that was calculated above.
