Mr Thomas wants to leave the fund raiser with at least $50 in his pocket.


He has $100 dollars when he goes to the fund raiser.  


At the fund raiser you can buy a raffle ticket so you can win prizes.


A raffle ticket costs $2.50


So a quick way to do this is


50/2.50  


Which is 20, so Mr Thomas should buy 20 raffle tickets if he wants to leave with $50.
