Answer:

13 Raffle tickets

Explanation:

Cost for one riffle ticket = 2.50

Total money of Vanessa budgeted for riffle ticket : 34.75

Greatest number of riffle ticket, venessa can with with 34.75

I'll like us to divide 34.75 by 2.5 to get the exact value.

Therefore,

34.75 / 2.5

= 13.9

It therefore implies that, Vanessa will buy a maximum of 13 riffle tickets and still have a change of 2.25
