Question

A raffle is being held to benefit the local animal shelter. They sell 717 tickets that do not win any prize, 19 tickets that win a free adoption (valued at $20), and one ticket that wins $166 worth of pet supplies and toys. If they are selling the tickets for $5 each, how much should the shelter expect to earn for each ticket sold?

    Let’s start by finding the total amount of tickets sold

    717+19+1=737

    Now multiply by 5 to see how much money they initially brought in

    737•5=3,685

    Now let’s find the total expense of the prizes

    166+(19•20)=t

    166+380=546

    Now subtract the expenses from the total ticket sales

    3,685-546=3,139

    They made $3,139 TOTAL

    Now let’s divide the total made by the total tickets sold

    3139 / 737 = 4.26

    They made $4.26 PER TICKET

    Hope this helps!
