Answer:
Total money raised by the students = $324
Step-by-step explanation:
Raffle tickets sold by Melissa = 18
'Jonah sold half as many tickets as Melissa'
Jonah sold the raffle tickets = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 18=9[/tex]
'Shona sold 1.5 times as many as Melissa'
Tickets sold by Shona = 1.5 × 18 = 27
Total number of raffle tickets sold by all of them = 18 + 9 +27 = 54
Since, each ticket cost = $6
Therefore, total money raised by the students = Total number of tickets sold × Cost of each ticket
= 54 × 6
= $324
