Tickets for a choir concert cost $3 for students and $5 for adults. The choir director wants to sell at least $1500 worth of tic
kets to this concert. She knows that 226 students purchased a ticket. Enter the minimum number of adults that need to purchase a ticket to raise at least $1500.
Step-by-step explanation: So, you do 226 x 3 and you get $678. So now that you know that you have $678 worth of student tickets, you want to find how much more you need for the adult tickets, so you do $1500-$678, and you get $822. Divide it by 5 and you get 164.4, so you wanna sell about 165 tickets. Check your work by multiplying 5 by 165 and you get $825, which meets your $1500 minimum
