Answer:

226

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of a given value, firstly convert to a decimal by dividing by 100:

82 ÷ 100 = 0.82

Now, multiply this decimal by the number of tickets:

275 x 0.82 = 225.5

Because you can't sell half a ticket, round up.

This means the total of tickets they need to sell is 226.

Hope this helps!
