A movie theater sold 1,500 tickets on

Saturday. Of those tickets, 15% were for

comedy, 10% were for drama, and 50%

were for action. How many tickets sold

were NOT for comedy, drama, or action

movies?

375 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add 15%, 50%, and 10% together to get 75%.

2. Subtract 75% from 100% to get 25%.

3. Multiply 1,500 by 0.25 (the decimal equivalent to 25%) to get 375.

4. You can also do it individually by multiplying 15% by 1,500 then 10% by 1,500 and 50% by 1,500 and adding them together and then subtracting it by 1,500. However, this would take much more work.

375 tickets were not comedy, drama, or action.

What you would do is add up all the percents: 15%+10%+50%=75%

Then multiply that by 1500: 1500 x 0.75 = 1125

Then you would subtract 1125 from 1500: 1500-1125=375
