Question

Shania had $20 to spend on seven raffle tickets. After buying them she had $6. How much did each raffle ticket cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money Shania was having = $20.

After buying raffle tickets she was having a total of $6.

Thus ,

The money she spent on the raffle tickets = Money she was having initially -

                                                                         Money she was having after

                                                                         purchasing tickets .

                                                                 = $20 - $6

                                                                 = $14.

Thus She spent a total of $14 on tickets .

Now , number of tickets she bought = 7.

So, cost of each ticket = $\frac{Money spent}{Number of tickets}$ = $\frac{14}{7}$

                                                          = $2.

Thus , each ticket costs $2 for Shania.
