Answer: 7 tickets

Explanation:

First you need to remove the cost of entrance from the $45 that Hayden has:

= 45 - 8

= $37

The $37 is the amount that is left for Hayden to be able to buy tickets for the raffle.

The tickets cost $5 each so the highest number of tickets that can be bought with $37 is:

= 37 / 5

= 7 tickets
