Question

A corporate team is hosting a fundraising event. It cost them $145 to book the venue, but they are selling the tickets to the event for $15 per person. How many tickets must they sell in order to raise $500?

Answer 1

They must sell 43 tickets to raise $500

Explanation:

Cost to book the venue = $145

-145 plus 500 (money they need to raise) = $645

Each ticket costs $15

645/15 = 43 tickets
