The volleyball team is selling raffle tickets for $1.50 each. It wants to make at least $250 from the sales. Assume everyone buys the same number of tickets. If there are 75 people at the fundraiser, what is the least number of tickets each person needs to buy to meet that goal?

Each person needs to buy at least 3 tickets, because 2 is too small
2(1.50) = 3 and 3(75) = $225
You need $250!
3(1.50) = 4.50 and 4.50(75) = $337.50
It's more than $250, but that's how it would have to be if they each buy an equal amount of tickets
