Answer:

Yes, the estimated amount of money at 6,400 was close since the actual amount of money made was 6,408.

Step-by-step explanation:

37 × 23 = 851 (total amount of seats)

851 - 200 = 651 (amount of adult seats sold)

200 × 6 = 1,200 (money recieved from selling child seats)

651 × 8 = 5,208 (money received for selling adult seats)

1,200 + 5,208 = 6,408 (all money earned in total)

The manager's estimates are quite close.

What is multiplication?

It is one of the basic arithmetic operations used when we have multiple times the addition of the same number.

The solution to the problem

Let us first calculate how many seats are there in the cinema hall, which is 37*23 = 851, as there are 37 rows and each row has 23 seats.

The price of a child ticket is 6 and 200 child tickets were sold, so the amount of price earned by the hall from child tickets alone is 200*6 = 1200.

The left number of seats is 851-200 = 651, hence 651 seats are left for adults to be seated.

So the price earned from an adult's ticket is 651*8 = 6208.

Hence the total price earned by the hall is 6208+1200 = 6408.

As the manager, had estimated the earnings to be around 6400, he has estimated it quite well as the actual price is 6408.
