Josef is on a planning committee for the eighth-grade party. The food, decoration, and entertainment costs a total of $350. The committee has $75 already. If the committee sells the tickets for $5 each, at least how many tickets must be sold to cover the remaining cost of the party?

Answer:At least 55 tickets must be sold to cover the remaining cost of the party.Step-by-step explanation:Total money needed for the party  = $350The money already with the committee  = $75Now, the money yet to be collected = Total Party Budget - Money present                                                               = $350  = $75  = $275Now, the cost of 1 ticket  = $5Let us assume the number of tickets sold to cover the cost of party = m⇒ The cost of m tickets   = 5 mThe renaming cost = Total cost of m ticketsor, 5 m =  $275⇒ m = 275/5  = 55or, m = 55Hence, at least 55 tickets must be sold to cover the remaining cost of the party by Josef.
