Answer:

  • 270 tickets were sold
  • not needed: books per player, tickets per book

Explanation:

To find the number of tickets sold, the total revenue needs to be divided by the revenue per ticket:

(total revenue)/(revenue/ticket) = total tickets

$810/$3 = 270 . . . total tickets

__

None of the other numbers in the problem are needed: books per player (1), tickets per book (10).
