Answer 1

Question 1: How much total money did Lena raise from ticket sales?

To find the total money raised from ticket sales, we can calculate the revenue from each type of ticket.

• Regular Tickets:

  • Number of Regular Tickets sold = 45
  • Price per Regular Ticket = $12
  • Revenue from Regular Tickets = 45 tickets * $12/ticket = $540

• VIP Tickets:

  • Number of VIP Tickets sold = 30
  • Price per VIP Ticket = $25
  • Revenue from VIP Tickets = 30 tickets * $25/ticket = $750

Now, we sum the revenue from both types of tickets: Total money raised = Revenue from Regular Tickets + Revenue from VIP Tickets Total money raised = $540 + $750 = $1,290

Question 2: What is Lena's final donation to the school after paying for the venue and the band?

First, we need to calculate the total expenses:

• Venue rental = $300
• Payment to local band = $50
• Total expenses = $300 + $50 = $350

Next, we find Lena's final donation: Final donation = Total money raised - Total expenses Final donation = $1,290 - $350 = $940

Question 3: If Lena's fundraising goal was $1,200, how reasonable was this estimate compared to the actual amount of money raised?

• Lena raised a total of $1,290.
• After expenses, her final donation is $940.

Lena's final donation of $940 is less than her fundraising goal of $1,200. Therefore, the appropriate response to Question 3 is:

The final donation was less than her fundraising goal.
