Answer:

Sample Response/Explanation: Let x represent the number of tickets sold, and y represent the total amount of money raised. Since each ticket is $2.50, the total amount of money raised is equal to $2.50 times the number of tickets. The equation would be y = 2.50x

This is the sample response, I know some people like to use it.

Anyway, have a good day/night, and stay hydrated <3

Answer: y = 2.50x

Explanation:

X represents the number of tickets sold, and because each ticket costs $2.50, the expression would be 2.50x to find how much money is raised, which can be represented as y.
