The student council receives 35% of the sales from the tickets to a school dance. If they received $196.00, what was the total of the ticket sales? i need help!

$560

Step-by-step explanation:

The student council receives 35% of the sales from the tickets to a school dance.

Let us represent the total of the ticket sales as x

35% of x = $196.00

35/100 × x = $196

35x/100 = $196

Cross Multiply

35x = $196 × 100

x = 196 × 100/35

x = $560

The total of the ticket sales is 560

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.

hope this !
