A band earns 2/3 of their profit from selling concert tickets and 1/5 of their profit from selling merchandise. The band earns $1500 from selling concert tickets. How much money does the band earn from selling merchandise?

Respuesta :

The band makes $300 from selling merchandise.

I found this out by finding the LCD for 3 and 5, which is 15.

Then I multiplied the 2 from 2/3 by 5, and the 1 from 1/5 by 3, which results in 10/15 and 3/15.

Next I divided 1500 by 15, which is 100.

Then I multiplied 100 by 3, and got 300.
