Answer:

B. 23 games.

Explanation:

Current balance: $469

Goal balance: $825.50

Profit per game: $15.50

  1. 825.50 - 469 = 356.50

They only need $365.50 in order to reach the goal.

  1. 356.50 ÷ 15.50 = 23

They need to sell 23 games, each selling for $15.50, in order to reach their goal balance, of $825.50.

  • Therefore, the answer is B.
