Westside middle school sold raffle tickets as a fundraiser. The tickets were priced at 5 for $20. How many tickets did the school sell if it brought in a revenue of $2,500?

Respuesta :

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

2,500/20=125

Answer:

The school sells 625 tickets.

Solution:

Let us assume that total x number of tickets are sold by the school.

As given in the problem,  

Cost of 5 tickets is \20 [tex]\$20[/tex]

So the cost of 1 ticket is [tex]\left(\frac{20}{5}\right) = \$4[/tex]

Then the cost of x tickets = [tex]\$4x[/tex]

As given the total revenue is [tex]\$2500[/tex],  

So,

[tex]4 x=2500[/tex]

[tex]x=\left(\frac{2500}{4}\right)=625[/tex]

The school sell total 625 tickets.
