Respuesta :

The least number of tickets each person needs to buy to meet that goal of volleyball team is 3 tickets.

What is an algebraic expression?

The algebraic expression are used to represent the general problem in the mathematical way to solve them to find the value of unknown variable.

Let suppose the number of tickets sold are n. As the volleyball team is selling raffle tickets for $1.50 each and the total fund raised by selling the ticket is $250.

Thus, the number of tickets sold are,

[tex]n=\dfrac{250}{1.5}\\n\approx167[/tex]

Now everyone buys the same number of tickets and there are 75 people at the fundraiser. Thus, the number of tickets purchased by each fundraiser is,

[tex]x=\dfrac{167}{75}\\x=2.23[/tex]

The number of tickets should be more than 2.23 buy by each people to earn the profit at least or more than $250.

Hence, the least number of tickets each person needs to buy to meet that goal of volleyball team is 3 tickets.
