314....1020.50/3.25 the decimal moves two places to the right in both numbers

Answer 2

Answer: 314

Explanation:

Given : After selling tickets to a dance for $3.25 each, the student council brought in $1020.50 from ticket sales.

i.e. The price of each ticket = $3.25

The total amount collected by selling tickets = $1020.50

Now, to find the number of tickets sold by tickets council, we need to divide the total amount by price of each ticket.

`(1020.50)/(3.25)=314`

Hence, the total number of tickets sold = 314.
