Question

The total profit from the Spanish club fund-raiser varies directly with the number of dinner tickets sold. If the sale of 22 tickets results in a profit of $253, how many tickets must be sold to reach the fund-raising goal of $700 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

61 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The total profit from the Spanish club fund-raiser varies directly with the number of dinner tickets sold.

If the sale of 22 tickets results in a profit of $253.

Profit in 1 ticket = $\dfrac{253}{22}=\ 11.5$

Let x tickets are sold in order to reach the fund-raising goal of $700.

$x=\dfrac{22}{253}\cdot700\\\\=\ 60.86$

or

= 61 tickets

Hence, 61 tickets must be sold to reach the fund-raising goal of $700.
