Final answer:

Each student would receive 15 raffle tickets and there would be 3 tickets left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how many raffle tickets each student will get, we need to divide the total number of tickets (483) by the number of students (32):



483 ÷ 32 = 15.09375 tickets



Since we can't have a fractional number of tickets, each student would receive 15 tickets and we would have some tickets left over. To find out how many tickets are left, we can multiply the number of students by the number of tickets each student received and subtract it from the total number of tickets:



32 x 15 = 480



483 - 480 = 3 tickets left over
