Question

Katherine's class is selling raffle tickets for $3 to raise money for charity. Katherine's class raised $504. Which equation would you use to find the number of tickets sold?

Answer 1

$504 / $3 = t

Explanation:

t = total tickets sold

If each ticket cost $3 and the class raised $504, just divide the total amount by the cost.

I hope this helps you! Please tell me if I am wrong!

Answer 2

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent each ticket with the variable t. For each ticket sold, there will be 3 dollars added to the total. So, if you multiply the number of tickets by 3, you will have your total.

This gives us the following equation.

3t=504

We could use this equation to find the number of tickets sold by dividing both sides of it by 3, which isolates the t, showing us that t=168.

Have a wonderful day!
