Question

Aldon and Jamal raised the same amount of money for the school fundraiser. Aldon
donated $40 and sold 12 tickets for the school raffle. Jamal donated $25 and sold
15 tickets for the raffle. What was the cost of each raffle ticket?

Answer 1

Answer: $5

Step-by-step explanation: This can be represented by the equation

40 + 12T = 25 + 15T

We just solve for T.

Subtract 12T from both sides

40 = 25 + 3T Subtract 25

15 = 3T Divide by 3

5 = T
