The seventh grade class is putting on a variety to raise money . It cost $700 to rent the banquet hall that they are going to use . If they charge $15 for each ticket , how many tickets do they need to sell in order to raise at least $1,000

Answer 1

The class needs to sell at least 20 tickets

Let x be the number of tickets that need to be sold in order to add up to $1000

Using the equation $700+$15x>=$1000

Subtract 700 from both sides and then divide each side by 15 to get 20.
