Raffle Ticket Math Challenge

Each student in Grade Four was given 20 raffle tickets to sell to 
raise funds for their school. The price of each ticket is $1.50. 
If Olivia sold all her tickets, how much money did she raise 
for her school? If there are 25 students in grade 4, 
and they all sold all of their tickets, how much 
money was raised altogether?

This is a two-part question. Be sure to show your math thinking 
(adding, subtracting, etc.), along with sentences to answer BOTH
questions. A calculator may be used, but you still need to show
the numbers and operations you used. Your solution is due on Monday.

Money, Money, Money!

Submit your solution to Ms. Earl on Monday.

with showing your number work.
