You had $22 to spend on four raffle tickets after buying them u had $6. how much did each raffle ticket cost?

each raffle ticket costs $4

Step-by-step explanation:

starting money = money left + number of tickets * ticket price

22 = 6 +4 * ticket price

16 = 4t

divide by 4

16/4 = 4t/4

4 = t

the ticket price is 4

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
