Question

Carmen needs to order raffle tickets for a company party. Usually, 1 out of 2 employees will

buy a raffle ticket. If there are 500 employees expected at the company party and raffle tickets
come in packages of 15, how many packages of raffle tickets should Carmen order?

Answer 1

17. Equals 15 1 out of 2

Answer 2

17

Explanation:

500/2 = 250

250/15 = 16.6 repeated

If you round 16.6, you get 17, and it better to have too many, than not enough.
