they raised $810.

each player on the team sold 1 book of tickets.

there were 10 tickets in a book, and each ticket costs $3.

divide 810 by 3 and you get 270.

there were 270 tickets sold.

270 * 3 = 810.

that would be 27 books if all the tickets in each book were sold because 27 * 10 = 270.

that would then be 27 players because each player sold 1 book.

your solution, however, is that there were 270 tickets sold.
