Question

CFMS has contacted a band to play at an upcoming event. The band will charge a travel fee of $525 plus $12.50 per ticket sold.The school decides to turn the event into a fundraiser by increasing the cost of the tickets. If they want to make a profit of $875, how much will they need to charge per ticket?

Answer 1

X=28 so they need to charge them

Answer 2

Answer:

x=28 so they need to charge 28 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

525 + 12.50x=875

First, take the 525 and drag it to the other side which will become into negative so the equation will be 12.50x=875-525 now just subtract it and u will get the answer of 12.50x=350 now all you need to do is divide $\frac{350}{12.5}$ and now the answer will be x=28 to double check we can just multiply 12.5 times 28 =  350 now plus 525 is = to 875 hope this helped :>
