257



Answer :

Answer:

20 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

given the cost of a ticket is 3.75

To find how many need to be sold to make 75

divide the amount to be made by the cost of one ticket.

75 ÷ 3.75 = 20

20 tickets need to be sold to make 75

Answer:

20 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the unit price of a raffle ticket and a target revenue. We are solving for how many tickets we need to sell to hit the target revenue.

We can find this by dividing the target by the price of the tickets:

[tex]75\$ \div \dfrac{\$3.75}{1 \text{ ticket}}[/tex]

↓ rewriting division by a fraction as multiplication by its reciprocal

[tex]75\$ \times \dfrac{1\text{ ticket}}{\$3.75}[/tex]

↓ canceling the "$" units in the numerator and denominator

[tex]\dfrac{75}{3.75} \text{ tickets}[/tex]

↓ executing the division

[tex]\boxed{20\text{ tickets}}[/tex]

So, Flame needs to sell 20 raffle tickets to incur $75 in revenue.
