Answer:

Nina is not correct because 393.5$ less then yesterday's ticket sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find total sales she he is not correct because

3 / 4 of 1440 = 1,080$ ticket sales from yesterday

and 295.25 - 33.50 = 261.75$

Therefore, ( 3 / 4 * 1440 ) + ( 295.25 - 33.50 ) = 1,341.75$ sale of today

Ticket from yesterday and today

1,080 - 1,341.75 = 393.5

393.5$ less then yesterday's ticket.

The expression 3/4(1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50) written by Nina is correct.

Yesterday :

Ticket sales = $1440

Food sales = $295.25

Today :

Ticket sales = 3/4(1440) = $1080

Food sales = $295.25 - $33.50 = $261.75

To calculate Today's sales :

Ticket sales + food sales

3/4(1440) + (295.25 - 33.50)

3/4(1440) + 295.25 - 33.50

Hence, Nina's expression is correct.
