Answer 2

They need $2655 to raise to cover the costs of the printing and meet their goal.

Explanation:

Given:

The football team is selling raffle tickets as a fundraiser.

It costs them $155 to print the tickets, and they would like to make at least $2,500 profit.

Now, to find money they need to raise to cover the costs of the printing and meet their goal.

Let the fund raised be
`x` dollars.

So, money spent in printing ticket =$155.

Thus, money left =
`x-155.`

The profit they would like to make at least = $2500.

According to question:

`x-155\geq 2500`

Adding both sides by 155 we get:

`x\geq 2655`

Therefore, they need $2655 to raise to cover the costs of the printing and meet their goal.
