Carla says that they need to sell 252 adult tickets to reach the goal of $3000. robena says that they need to sell 253 adult tickets to reach the goal. who is correct? explain your reasoning
How much do these tickets cost?
To determine who is correct, we need to solve the problem step by step.
First, we know that Carla and Robena have already sold 95 student tickets. Let's denote the number of adult tickets sold as 'A'.
According to Carla, the total amount they need to reach their goal is $3000. She claims they need to sell 252 adult tickets. So we can write the equation:
$3000 = 95(student tickets) + A * (price of adult ticket)
To find the price of each adult ticket, we need to know the number of adult tickets sold or the price of each adult ticket. Without any more information, we cannot find an exact value for 'A'.
Now, let's consider Robena's statement. She says they need to sell 253 adult tickets to reach their goal. Similarly, we can write the equation:
$3000 = 95(student tickets) + 253 * (price of adult ticket)
In this case, we have a specific value for the number of adult tickets ('253'), allowing us to calculate the price of each adult ticket.
However, we don't have enough information about the price of the adult tickets to determine if Robena's statement is correct. We need additional information to find the price of each adult ticket and compare it to Carla's statement.
In conclusion, based on the information provided, we cannot definitively determine who is correct between Carla and Robena since we are missing crucial information about the price of adult tickets.
