Answer:

If Miles sells 6 tickets the money he will collect be $36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Miles sells 3 raffle tickets for $18 and 4 tickets for $24.

The pattern for the price of the tickets is the same.

Now, to find the money miles will collect if he sells 6 tickets.

Let the money Miles will collect be [tex]x.[/tex]

The ticket if sells will be 6.

As, Miles sells 3 tickets for $18.

And the pattern for the price is same.

So, 3 is equivalent to 18.

And, 6 is equivalent to [tex]x.[/tex]

Now, to get the money by using cross multiplication method:

[tex]\frac{3}{18} =\frac{6}{x}[/tex]

By cross multiplying we get"

[tex]3x=108[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

[tex]x=36.[/tex]

The money MIles will collect = $36.

Therefore,  if Miles sells 6 tickets the money he will collect is $36.
