Answer

34 tickets

Work Step by Step

Let x = the ticket price The members of the club sold 50 tickets at a special $\$5$ rate: $50(5)+7.5x$ The total amount needs to be $\$500$ so: $50(5)+7.5x=500$ $7.5x=250$ $x\approx33.33$ To raise at least $\$500$ in ticket sales for the annual show we need to round up the solution to $34$.
