Question

The cheerleaders are selling tickets to a pasta dinner to raise money for new competition outfits. They plan to charge $6 per person, and their total expenses for dinner are $135.which value for the number of tickets sold would result in the cheerleaders not making a profit?​

Answer 1

22 and a half ticket sold here will result in no profit situation for cheerleaders.

Explanation:

The charge per person = $6

The total cost for dinner = $135

If cheerleaders do not make any profit , then

{ If the money earned from tickets = The money Spent} ⇒ NO PROFIT

Now, charge per person = $6

So, number of person needed to earn a total of $135

n =
`\frac{\textrm{The total money needed}}{\textrm{Charge per person}}`

n =
`(135)/(6)` = 22.5

So, 22 and a half ticket sold here will result in no profit situation for cheerleaders.

If they sell 23 tickets, they will have a profit of $3

And if they sell 22 tickets, they will be short by $3.
