Greetings!

"A charity sold 475 tickets to a dinner auction. If the charity raised 16,625 in ticket sales, what was the cost of one ticket?"...

This can be solved by creating an equation:

475x=16625
Divide both sides by 475.

(475x)/475=(16625)/475
Simplify.

x=35

Each ticket costed $35.

Hope this helps.

It would be 35 dollars a ticket because 16,625 divided by 475 is 35.
