...sold to donations made is 10 tickets for every $5 donated. This can be expressed as a ratio of 10:5, which simplifies to 2:1.
Hence, for every 2 tickets sold, the business donates $1. Therefore, if a certain number of tickets are sold, you can calculate the total donation by first determining how many sets of 10 tickets were sold and then multiplying that by the $5 donation.
For example, if 30 tickets are sold, that would mean the business donates:
\[
\left(\frac{30 \text{ tickets}}{10 \text{ tickets/set}}\right) \times 5 \text{ dollars} = 3 \text{ sets} \times 5 \text{ dollars/set} = 15 \text{ dollars}
\]
So if Student B is pointing out the significance of this ratio, they are correct in highlighting how ticket sales correlate directly to the donations made by the business.
