Answer 1

$560

Explanation:

The student council receives 35% of the sales from the tickets to a school dance.

Let us represent the total of the ticket sales as x

35% of x = $196.00

35/100 × x = $196

35x/100 = $196

Cross Multiply

35x = $196 × 100

x = 196 × 100/35

x = $560

The total of the ticket sales is 560
