Question

Melissa sold 18 raffle tickets for the

school fundraiser. Jonah sold half as
many tickets as Melissa. Shona sold 1
Ź times as many tickets as Melissa. If
each ticket cost $6, how much total
money did the students raise?

Answer 1

$324

Explanation:

Melissa sold 18 tickets.

Jona sold 1/2 * 18 = 9 tickets

Shona sold 1 1/2 * 18 = 1.5 * 18 = 27 tickets

Total number of tickets sold:

18 + 9 + 27 = 54

Total money from sales: 54 * $6 = $324
