Members of a school social service group hold a spaghetti dinner to raise money for orphan children. They must sell tickets at a price that will earn them more money than the cost of food. The formula for this scenario is t = n (p − c) where t = total profit earned from the event c = cost of food per plate n = number of tickets sold p = price charged for each dinner Rewrite the equation to determine the number of tickets they need to sell.
