Question

in class of 24 students, 13 students sold over 150 raffle tikets each, and the rest of the class sold about 60 tikets each. the class goal was to sell 2,000 tikets. did they rach their goal?

Answer 1

To find the answer we have to calculate total tickets.
We know that 13 students sold 150 tickets and rest sold 60 each.
First I want to find ticket sold by 13 student, so
13*150=1950
Rest of class is 24-13=11
Ticket sold by rest of class is
11*60=660
Total sold ticket is
1950+660=2610 they rich their goal

Answer 2

In class of 24 students, 13 students sold over 150 raffle tikets each and 24-13=11 students sold about 60 tikets each.

1. If 13 students sold over 150 raffle tikets each, then together they sold over 13·150=1950 raffle tikets.

2. If 11 students sold about 60 tikets each, then together they sold about 11·60=660 raffle tikets.

3. All together they sold about 1950+660=2610 raffle tikets. Since 2610>2000, they had achieved their goal.

Answer: yes.
