Question

Juan sells raffle tickets at a charity event for $6 each. How many tickets does he have to sell to make $114? Write an equation Use 't' to represent the total # of tickets they need to sell.

Answer 1

The price of each ticket is $6, so the total amount after selling t tickets is 6*t.

If we know that the total amount is $114, we can write:

`\begin{gathered} 6t=114 \\ t=(114)/(6) \\ t=19 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The equation is 6t=114.

The number of tickets sold is t=19.
