    The total deductible amount of these expenditures is $450.

    Explanation:

    Half of any cost of meals and entertainment to which business discussion is associated and appropriate records kept is allowed to be deducted.

    Since it is only tickets to the opera with a client following a business meeting that meet this condition, 50% of the total amount of $900 which is $450 is deductible.
