Question

Taylor estimated the music department would raise $1,100 for new uniforms by selling tickets to a performance next week. Each ticket will be $12.75. About how many tickets dose the music department need to sell for Taylor's estimate to be reasonable?

Answer 1

We need to do division to find out how many tickets they should sell.


`(1,100)/(12.75) \approx 86.27`

They need to sell around 87 tickets for Taylor's estimate to be reasonable.
