Five hundred raffle tickets were sold at a fundraiser for $5 each. Eight winning tickets paid as follows: one ticket at $750, two tickets at $250 each, and five tickets at $125 each. The revenue from ticket sales that was not used to pay off the prizes was profit. What percent of the revenue from ticket sales was profit?

500 * 5 =  $2500  = total money taken in = revenue

 

1(750) + 2(250) + 5(125)  = $1875   =  prize money paid out

 

Profit =  2500 - 1875  =  $625  

 

% of revenue that was profit =    625  /   2500  =    .25  =  25 %
