Answer:

$2

Explanation:

Total money Shania was having = $20.

After buying raffle tickets she was having a total of $6.

Thus ,

The money she spent on the raffle tickets = Money she was having initially -

Money she was having after

purchasing tickets .

= $20 - $6

= $14.

Thus She spent a total of $14 on tickets .

Now , number of tickets she bought = 7.

So, cost of each ticket =
(Money spent)/(Number of tickets) =
(14)/(7)

= $2.

Thus , each ticket costs $2 for Shania.
