Solution
To find out how many tickets they sold, you need to divide the total amount of money raised by the cost of each ticket.
Step 1: Identify the total amount of money raised, which is $1187.50.
Step 2: Identify the cost of each ticket, which is $2.50.
Step 3: Divide the total amount of money raised by the cost of each ticket.
So, 2.50 = 475 tickets.
Therefore, they sold 475 tickets.
