Question

If you were organizing a raffle like this, how would you change the game (ticket prices, number of tickets, prize amounts, etc.) in order to encourage more people to purchase tickets while still raising at least

$4000 for your organization? Your response should include a short paragraph, written in complete sentences, with an explanation of the specific adjustments or changes that you would make and how these changes would encourage more people to purchase tickets.

Answer 1

I don't want to do the problem for you, but I will give you a hint.

You are dealing with a number of tickets sold with the total amount received depending on the cost per ticket.

You have a minimum total amount you want to receive in ticket sales.

Then there is the the prize is worth.

Ask yourself what parameter(s) would entice you, as a patron, to buy raffle tickets.

So you want to set up either an equation or an inequality, and what in the problem tells you which one of these you want to use to model the problem?
