nelson middle school raised $19950 on ticket sales for its carnival fundraiser last year at $15 per ticket. if the school sells the same number of tickets this year but charges $20 per ticket how much money will the school make?

You can do this 2 ways. First, you can determine the new cost compared to last year as 20/15 or 4/3. So multiply 4/3×$19950=$26,600
Second, you can look at it as 19950÷15 to find how many tickets sold last year and then multiply by $20, the new price
