In a lottery 1000 tickets are sold at $0.34 each. There are 3 cash prizes: $130, $90, and $20. Alice buys 10 tickets. What would have been a fair price for a ticket? How much extra did Alice pay?

I think I just replied that below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are new values! and the second answer of the extra amount was incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Total tickets worth 1000*0.34=$340 Total prize worth 130+90+20=$240 Fair price for a ticket $240:1000=$0.24 Extra per ticket $0.34-$0.24=$0.10 Times 10 tickets $1.00

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the fair price would be .24 and she paid .10 extra or a dollar extra?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she bought 10. so she paid a dollar extra.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
