Answer:

<u>##  Profit/Loss = </u>14x-400<u></u>

<u>##  29 tickets</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit/Loss is Revenue - Cost

For the fundraisers:

Revenue comes from tickets sold at $14 each

x tickets sold, means the revenue is:

14x

Now, cost is what they are going to give out, that is $400 TV Set, so the cost is:

400

Hence, Profit/Loss would be:

<u>Profit/Loss = </u>14x-400<u></u>

<u></u>

Raffle sales equaling the cost of prize is basically when we break-even, or when profit/loss is equal to 0. So we solve the equation:

Profit/Loss = 14x - 400

0 = 14x - 400

14x = 400

x = 28.57

We can't sell fractional tickets, so we have to sell 29 tickets in order to break even
