Q. The members of West Valley High School's student council are planning this year's school carnival. For the raffle, they plan to order one roll of 150150 golden tickets. For the carnival games, they plan to order blue tickets that come in rolls of 200200. Based on last year's numbers, they plan to order a total of 1,5501,550 tickets. How many rolls of blue tickets should the student council order?
  1. Find Golden Tickets: First, find out how many golden tickets they need.
  2. Calculate Blue Tickets: Golden tickets needed: 11 roll of 150150 tickets.
  3. Determine Rolls of Blue Tickets: Subtract the golden tickets from the total tickets to find out how many blue tickets are needed. 1,550150=1,4001,550 - 150 = 1,400 blue tickets.
  4. Determine Rolls of Blue Tickets: Subtract the golden tickets from the total tickets to find out how many blue tickets are needed. 1,550150=1,4001,550 - 150 = 1,400 blue tickets. Now, divide the number of blue tickets by the number of tickets per roll to find out how many rolls of blue tickets are needed. 1,400÷200=71,400 \div 200 = 7 rolls.
