Jordy buys 5 lottery tickets for $17.50. How much would he pay for 7 lottery tickets?

To determine how much Jordy would pay for 7 lottery tickets, we first need to calculate the price of one lottery ticket. Jordy buys 5 tickets for a total of $17.50.

To find the cost per ticket, we can divide the total cost by the number of tickets:

[

\text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{17.50}{5} = 3.50

]

Now that we know the price of one ticket is $3.50, we can calculate the cost for 7 tickets:

[

\text{Cost for 7 tickets} = 7 \times 3.50 = 24.50

]

Thus, if Jordy wants to buy 7 lottery tickets, he would pay $24.50. This makes the answer accurate for the total cost when buying those 7 tickets.
