Question

The 7th grade class is putting on a talent show to raise money. It cost $700 to rent the banquet hall that they are going to use. If they charge $25 for each ticket, how many tickets do they need to sell in order to raise at least $1000?

Answer 1

68 tickets

Explanation:

1000 = 25x - 700

x is the number of tickets

You want to raise 1000 dollars, which will equal the number of tickets times the price for each ticket minus the 700 dollars spent renting the hall.

Add 700 to both sides and then divide both sides by 25 to isolate x.

1700 = 25x

x = 68 tickets
