Question

the members of stanville high schools student council are planning this years school carnival. for the raffle, they plan to order one roll of 100 golden tickets. for the carnival games, they plan to order red tickets that come in rolls of 250. based on last years numbers, they plan to order a total of 1,600 tickets. which equation can the student council use to find how many rolls of red tickets, r, they should order? 100r + 250 = 1,600; 100(r + 250) = 1,600; 250r + 100 = 1,600; 250(r + 100) = 1,600

Explanation:

Step1: Define ticket quantities

Let $r$ = number of red ticket rolls. Red tickets per roll = 250, so total red tickets = $250r$. Golden tickets = 100.

Step2: Set total ticket equation

Total tickets = red tickets + golden tickets = 1600.
<Expression>
$250r + 100 = 1600$
</Expression>

Answer:

250r + 100 = 1,600
