Question

I realllyyy Need HELPPP A 9th grade class is putting on a talent show to raise money. the 9th grade class already has $700 in theeir account. if they charge $15 for each ticket, how many tickets do they need to sell in order to get their account blance to $1,000 A 2 Tickets B 20 tickets C 200 tickets D 2000 tickets

Answer 1

The need to sell 20 tickets at $15 each to be able to get their balance to $1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount the 9th grade already had = $700

Amount they need = $1000

Let the number of $15 that will make $700 become $1000 be x, then we have the equation:

700 + 15x = 1000

Solving for x, we have what we are looking for.

Subtract 700 from both sides

15x = 1000 - 700

15x = 300

Divide both sides by 15

x = 300/15

= 20
