67 tickets so they can sell $1000 at least.

They will need to raise at least 67 tickets because if they sold 66 tickets (15x66) they will only get $990, but if they get 67 tickets (15x67) they'll raise $1005. The easiest way to get the answer fast is to do 1,000 divided by 15 and then see if that number equals 1000, or if you need to add one more ticket to make it at least 1,000.
