1) $19950/$15 = 1330 tickets

2) 1330*$20=26600

This year, the school made $26600

Itzel · Answer 2

You can do this 2 ways. First, you can determine the new cost compared to last year as 20/15 or 4/3. So multiply 4/3*$19950=$26,600

Second, you can look at it as 19950:15 to find how many tickets sold last year and then multiply by $20, the new price
