Question

Melissa sold 18 raffle tickets for the school fundraiser. Jonah sold half as many tickets as Melissa. Shona sold 1 1/2 times as many tickets as Melissa. If each ticket cost 6$, how much total money did the students raise. Please I need help quickly!

Answer 1

$324

Explanation:

Find how many tickets Jonah sold:

18/2

= 9

Find how many Shona sold:

18(1.5)

= 27

Find the total number of tickets they sold:

18 + 9 + 27

= 54

Find the total amount of money raised:

54(6)

= 324

So, they raised $324 in total
