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, 1187.50÷1187.50 ÷ 2.50 = 475 tickets.

Therefore, they sold 475 tickets.
