The students at Porterville Elementary sold raffle tickets, each for the same price, for a fundraiser. The equation below shows how much money was raised with t tickets sold. $880 = $11t What is the unit rate in the equation above?

Answer 1

To find the unit rate in the equation \( 880 = 11t \), we need to interpret this equation in the context of the fundraiser.

Here, \( t \) represents the number of raffle tickets sold, and \( 880 \) is the total amount of money raised in dollars. The coefficient \( 11 \) represents the price of each raffle ticket in dollars.

To find the unit rate (the price of one ticket), we can see directly from the equation that:

• Each ticket costs \( 11 \) dollars.

Thus, the unit rate in the equation is \($11\) per ticket.
