At the Movies
People think that "Wicked" will win an Oscar Award this year, for the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture category. Ticket prices, in our area, to see the film are approximately $12.50. Currently the price of Wicked, the musical, on Broadway cost $355.50
The year I was born, Gigi won a total of nine Academy Awards, one being best picture. During that year, my parents purchased a movie ticket to see the movie for about $0.68.
Answer the questions below. Use the math rubic that is posted in Google classroom and Canvas.
If ticket prices for musicals rose at the same rate as the movie tickets:
- What would it cost to see a musical version of Wicked in 1958?
- State what the price of the ticket and illustrate how you got the price mathematically.
- Are you surprised at the cost? Why?
- Was your model a good predictor? Why or why not?
In addition: Imagine that the size of the dollar bill has grown in proportion to the movie prices. What would the dimensions of the bill have been, when Gigi was in the movie theaters?
