Answer 1

Hi Carter, I'd be more than happy to help you.

so lets break down all the information we have here:

1) All the tickets cost the same amount

2) If the school sells 20 tickets, they make $80

3) They want to know how much they will make if they sell 13

Now let's solve this question:

Find the cost of each ticket. We can do this by taking the money they'd make from selling 20 tickets, which is $80, and dividing it by the total amount of tickets sold (20)

80/20= $4 per ticket

Now we know the price per ticket we can simply multiply it by the amount of tickets they would sell (13)

4*13=$52

The school would earn$52 if they sold 13 tickets.
