In class of 24 students, 13 students sold over 150 raffle tikets each, and the rest of the class sold about 60 tikets each. the class goal was to sell
2,000 tikets. did they rach their goal?
Yes they did because 150 times 13 equals 1,950 and 11 times 60 equals 660 and add them together then get the answer 2,610
Yes
They did
13 * 150 = ?
11 * 60 = ?
Add the two products. Is it more or less than 2,000?
To determine if the class reached their goal of selling 2,000 tickets, we need to calculate the total number of tickets sold by each group.
First, let's find out how many students sold over 150 raffle tickets each. It is given that 13 students fall into this group.
Next, we need to determine the number of tickets sold by these 13 students. This information is not provided directly, but we know that each student in this group sold over 150 tickets. So we can assume that they each sold at least 151 tickets.
Hence, the minimum number of tickets sold by these 13 students is 13 students * 151 tickets per student = 1963 tickets.
Now, let's find out how many students are in the rest of the class. We have a total of 24 students, and 13 students were already accounted for. Therefore, the rest of the class would consist of 24 students - 13 students = 11 students.
It is given that the students in the rest of the class sold about 60 tickets each. So, we can assume that they each sold an average of 60 tickets.
Hence, the total number of tickets sold by the rest of the class is 11 students * 60 tickets per student = 660 tickets.
To find the total number of tickets sold by the class, we add the number of tickets sold by each group: 1963 tickets + 660 tickets = 2623 tickets.
Since the class sold 2623 tickets, which is greater than the goal of 2000 tickets, we can conclude that they reached their goal of selling 2,000 tickets.
