Answer:

<h2> 105 tickets</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to model an equation to represent the situation first.

the goal is to archive $7500 in the even, bearing in mind that there is a cost of $375 fee for rent, we need to put this amount into consideration

let the number of tickets be x

so

75x-375>=7500--------1

Equation 1 above is a good model for the equation

we can now solve for x to determine the number of tickets to be sold to archive the aim

75x-375>=7500--------1

75x>=7500+375

75x>=7875

divide both sides by 75 we have

x>=7875/75

x>=105 tickets

so they must sell a total of 105 tickets and above to meet the target of $7500 with the rent inclusive
