Each of the 25 students in Mr. McDonald class sold 16 raffle tickets if each ticket cost $15 how much money did Mr. McDonald’s students raise PLEASE HELP

Mr. McDonald's class raised $6,000 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

So they're are 25 students in the class and they each sold 16 raffle tickets. The easiest way to do this problem is to first find the amount of raffle tickets sold and then multiply that by 15. You could also just do 25*16*15 but that doesn't make much sense just thinking about it. So the first operation we have to do is 25*16 because multiplication is repeated addition so we're basically doing 16+16 25 times to see how much raffle tickets were sold. So that is 400 and then we multiply by 15 because each ticket sold for 15 dollars so if we sold 400 raffle tickets for 15 dollars each, again multiplication is repeated addition so we do 15+15 400 times which is 400*15=6,000. So Mr.McDonald's class raised $6,000 dollars.
