Question
A seventh grade class is having a raffle to raise money for a field trip. They have already raised $300, and will raise $6 for every ticket they sell. How many tickets do they need to sell to raise exactly $324?
Let t be the number of tickets the class sells. Write an expression that represents the total amount of money the class raises.

What does your answer of 4 mean in this situation?
6t+300 = 324
t = 4
The class needs to sell 4 tickets in order to raise $324.
The class needs to raise $4 more to raise $324.
The class needs to sell the tickets for $4 in order to raise $324.

To write an inequality that represents the class raising at least $324, we want to express the scenario where the total amount raised is greater than or equal to $324.
Starting from the expression you have:
\[ 6t + 300 \]
We can create the inequality as follows:
\[ 6t + 300 \geq 324 \]
This means that the total amount raised (the amount from ticket sales plus the initial amount raised) must be greater than or equal to $324.
You can solve this inequality to find the minimum number of tickets \( t \) the class needs to sell in order to meet or exceed their goal.
Subtract 300 from both sides of the inequality:
\[ 6t \geq 24 \]
Now divide both sides by 6:
\[ t \geq 4 \]
This indicates that the class needs to sell at least 4 tickets to meet their goal of raising at least $324.
