To determine how many more tickets must be sold to cover the cost of supplies, we first need to know the price of each ticket. However, since you didn't provide that information, I'll proceed with a general calculation.
Let's denote the price of each ticket as \( P \) dollars.
1. The total cost of the supplies is $175.
2. Currently, 20 tickets have been sold, so the revenue from these tickets is \( 20P \).
To find out how much more is needed to cover the cost of supplies:
\[
\text{Amount needed} = 175 - 20P
\]
To find out how many more tickets need to be sold to cover this amount, we need to divide the remaining amount by the price of one ticket:
\[
\text{Number of tickets needed} = \frac{175 - 20P}{P}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\text{Number of tickets needed} = \frac{175}{P} - 20
\]
So, if you provide the price of each ticket \( P \), you can plug that value into the equation to find out how many more tickets need to be sold. If you want to give the ticket price, I can calculate it for you!
