a band that will be the opening act for a concert charges a $700.00 flat fee as well as 16% of all ticket profits from ticket sales. if the band earned $1,200, how much was made in total ticket sales for the show?
1. Subtract the flat fee 1,200-700 =500 2. 500 is what just the band made. Divide that by .16 (16%) to get the total ticket amount... 500 divided by .16 = 3,125
