Fundraising for a School Event

Question

Your class is organizing a fundraiser to support a school event, and you need to determine how many items to sell and how much money to raise.
Scenario:
You need to raise $800 for the event.
The class decides to sell tickets to a school play for $10 each and snacks for $2 each.
Each student will sell 5 tickets and snacks, and you have 25 students in the class.
How much money will the class raise from selling tickets alone?

Answer 1

To determine how much money the class will raise from selling tickets alone, we first need to calculate the total number of tickets sold.

Each student sells 5 tickets, and there are 25 students in the class.

Total tickets sold = Number of students × Tickets sold per student Total tickets sold = 25 × 5 = 125 tickets

Next, we calculate the total revenue from selling these tickets. Each ticket is sold for $10.

Total revenue from tickets = Total tickets sold × Price per ticket Total revenue from tickets = 125 × 10 = $1,250

Therefore, the class will raise $1,250 from selling tickets alone.
