Well they would of sold 1330 tickets if they raised $19950 by selling each ticket at $15, so if it was $20 per ticket t would be $26600
S=-1 see attachment for explanation

Answer: Approximately 6.58 years old</h3>
The more accurate value is 6.57881347896059, which you can round however you need. I picked two decimal places.
==================================================
Explanation:
Let's pick a starting value of the car. It doesn't matter what the starting value, but it might help make the problem easier. Let's say A = 1000. Half of that is 1000/2 = 500.
So we want to find out how long it takes for the car's value to go from $1000 to $500 if it depreciates 10% per year.
The value of r is r = 0.10 as its the decimal form of 10%
t is the unknown number of years we want to solve for
---------------------------
y = A(1 - r)^t
500 = 1000(1 - 0.1)^t
500 = 1000(0.9)^t
1000(0.9)^t = 500
0.9^t = 500/1000
0.9^t = 0.5
log( 0.9^t ) = log( 0.5 )
t*log( 0.9 ) = log( 0.5 )
t = log( 0.5 )/log( 0.9 )
t = 6.57881347896059
Note the use of logs to help us isolate the exponent.
Since it takes her 2 1/2 miles to get to the aquarium from her hotel, you need to subtract the various distances from this value in order to find how long it took Clara to walk the rest of the way to the aquarium.
2 1/2 - (1/4+1 3/4)= 2 1/2 - 2= 1/2
Clara must walk 1/2 a mile to get the rest of the way to the aquarium.
