Hi All,
We're told that the table shows a summary of the ticket sales from four performances of a certain play. We're asked for the DIFFERENCE between the MAXIMUM and the MINIMUM ticket-sale revenue from a single performance. This question comes down to a little analysis of the given data and a bit of Arithmetic.
Since there are only 4 'entries' in the table, it wouldn't be too difficult to calculate the revenue from each of the 4 shows. However, not all of that work is necessary.
The MAXIMUM revenue is clearly from Saturday Night (most expensive price and largest number of tickets).... ($50)(300) = $15,000 in revenue.
The MINIMUM revenue is clearly from Thursday Night (least expensive price and smallest number of tickets).... ($40)(200) = $8,000 in revenue.
Thus, the difference is $15,000 - $8,000 = $7,000
Final Answer: D
