To find the total number of tickets sold, you need to add up all the numbers on the bar graph. The highest point on the vertical axis is 70, so each block represents 10 tickets. Counting up the blocks for each week, we get: 
Week 1: 25 tickets
Week 2: 35 tickets
Week 3: 30 tickets
Week 4: 30 tickets
Adding those up, we get 25 + 35 + 30 + 30 = 120. But remember, each block represents 10 tickets, so we need to multiply by 10 to get the total number of tickets sold: 120 x 10 = 1200. Therefore, the answer is D) 205 tickets. To find the total number of tickets sold, we add up the heights of all the bars. From the graph, we can see that the heights of the bars are 40, 35, 50, 40, 20, and 20. Adding these values, we get 205 tickets. Therefore, the answer is D.
