Question

Each of the students in Mr.Mcdonald's class sold 16 raffle tickets. If each ticket costs $15, how much money did Mr.Mcdonald's students raise?

Answer 1

You do 16×15 and get 240

Answer 2

The total money raised by Mr. McDonald's students is $ 6000.

Further Explanation

Given:

Each student sold 16 raffles

Cost/raffle = $ 15

Number of students = 25 students (additional information)

Total money raised?

First step, we are going to calculate how much money each student raised:

$= \boxed {16 \times15\ }$

This multiplication can be solved using the area model as below:

$= \boxed {16 \times15\ }\\ = \boxed {(6+10) \times (5+10)\ }\\ = \boxed {(6 \times5) + (5 \times10) + (6 \times10) + (10 \times10)\ }\\ = \boxed {30+50+60+100\ }\\ =  \boxed {240\ }$

So, each student will raised $240

If there are 25 students, the total money raised will be:

$= \boxed {25 \times240\ }\\= \boxed {(5+20) \times(40+200)}\\ = \boxed {(5 \times40) + (20 \times40) + (5 \times200) + (20 \times200)\ }\\ = \boxed {200+80+1000+4000\ }\\ = \boxed {6000\ }$

So, the total money raised by Mr. McDonald's students is $6000
