Answer:$1035 was raised from the raffle tickets.

Explanation:

The total number of prices available

for the lucky draw is 6. The 6 prizes cost 8 3/10 dollar each. Converting 8 3/10 = 83/10 dollar each.

The total cost of the 6 prizes would be 83/10 × 6 = 249/5 dollars

The total number of Raffle tickets that were sold is 1356. Each ticket was sold for 4/5 dollars each. The total amount from 1356 tickets would be

4/5 × 1356 = 5424/5 dollars

The total amount of money that was raised from the raffle tickets would be

5424/5 - 249/5 = 5175/5 = $1035
