Question

The Haverstown theater club is selling tickets for dinner and a show. They already have props and costumes, but they spend $142.50 on food. If they charge $9.50 for each ticket, how many tickets do they need to sell to cover their costs?

Answer 1

15 tickets

Explanation:

If the theater club needs $142.50 and each ticket costs $9.50, we need to divide 142.5/9.5 to determine how many tickets must be sold, which gets us 15.
