Question

Jodie wants to raise money for a school trip by selling raffle tickets at a basketball game. She sells each ticket for 50 cents, and she sells two and a half rolls of tickets. If each roll of ticket has 200 tickets, how much money did Jodie make?

Answer 1

250 dollars

Explanation:

t = tickets

t = 200

Two and a half rolls tickets = (200 x 2) + 200/2) = 400 + 100 = 500

500 tickets x 50 cents = 25000 cents

convert cents to dollars (move decimole point over left 2 units)

25000 = 250 dollars
