Twenty Girl Scouts held a raffle to help them pay for camp. Each girl needs $75.00 and each raffle ticket is being sold for $1.50. How many raffle tickets will the Girl Scouts have to sell in order for all of them to go to camp and how much will they need in total to send all 20 girls?
750 tickets and $1,125.00
1,500 tickets and $2,250.00
1,000 tickets and $1,500.00
1,500 tickets and $1,750.00
Working the problem: As each girl needs $75.00 to go to camp, we need to see how many raffle tickets will have to be sold to send just one girl. Each raffle ticket costs $1.50 so we divide $75.00 ÷ $1.50 = 50. We have 20 Girl Scouts who want to go to camp so now we multiply 50 x 20 = 1,000. This tells us that they need to sell 1,000 raffle tickets. If they sell 1,000 raffle tickets at $1.50 each, we multiply 1,000 x $1.50 = $1,500.00.
Solution: The Girl Scouts will have to sell 1,000 $1.50 raffle tickets and it will take $1,500.00 for each of the 20 girls to go to camp.
Answer (c) is the correct answer
