Answer:

C. $1.50

Explanation:

The graph is a straight line through the origin, so the revenue is proportional to the number of tickets. The ratio of revenue to tickets will tell you the money raised for each ticket sold. Pick any point on the graph and divide the revenue value by the number of tickets.

The division can be easy if the number of tickets is 10. We see that the revenue for 10 tickets is $15, so the amount raised for each ticket is ...

$15/10 = $1.50 . . . . raised per ticket sold
