    Step-by-step explanation:

    In the first hour, 350 people purchased admission tickets. In the second hour, 20% more people purchased admission tickets than in the first hour. This means that the number of people that bought admission tickets in the second hour would be

    (20/100 * 350) + 350

    = 70 + 350 = 420 people

    The total number of tickets purchased in the first two hours is

    350 + 420 = 770

    Each admission tickets cost $17.50.

    Therefore, the total amount of money paid for all the tickets purchased in the first two hours is

    17.5 * 770 = $13475

    Step-by-step explanation:

    At 8:00 am:

    350 people purchased admission tickets

    Total Admission tickets at 8:00am

    = 350 people * $17.50

    = $6,125

    In the second Hour 20% ore people made a purchase:

    20% of 350 = 0.2 * 350

    =70 more people

    Total cost of purchase in the second hour:

    = 70 more people * $ 17.50

    = $1,225

    Total tickets purchased in the first two hours:

    $6,125 + $ 1,225

    = $7350
