Question

The total profit from the Spanish club fund-raiser varies directly with the number of dinner tickets sold. If the sale of 22 tickets results in a profit of $253, how many tickets must be sold to reach the fund-raising goal of $700 ?

Answer 1

61 tickets

Explanation:

It is given that,

The total profit from the Spanish club fund-raiser varies directly with the number of dinner tickets sold.

If the sale of 22 tickets results in a profit of $253.

Profit in 1 ticket =
`(253)/(22)=\$11.5`

Let x tickets are sold in order to reach the fund-raising goal of $700.

`x=(22)/(253)\cdot700\\\\=\$60.86`

or

= 61 tickets

Hence, 61 tickets must be sold to reach the fund-raising goal of $700.
