Nelson Middle school raised 19,950 on ticket sales for its carnival fundraiser last year at $15 per ticket. If the school sells the same number of tickets this year but charges $20 per ticket,how much money will the school make

Respuesta :

19950/15 = 1330 tickets sold last year

1330 * 20 = 26,600 <== the school will make $ 26,600
For last year the school raised $19 950 tickets sold at $15 per ticket:

Number of tickets sold = $19 950 / $15 = 1330 tickets were sold

So if each ticket is now sold for $20,

Total = 1330 * 20 = $26, 600 for this year.

So this year the school will raise $26 600, which is more than last year.

I hope this explains it.
