Emiliano Diaz · Answer 1

From 1990 to 1995, there are 5 years. We substitute 5 to the given equation in order to determine the greatest number of tickets for the Broadway.

S = 332 + 132t - 10.4t²

Substituting,

S = 332 + 132 (5) - 10.4 (5²) = 732

Thus, the maximum number of tickets that can be sold is $732.
