We assume all money is spent on new lighting. Since they currently have $160 and need $400 we can subtract what they currently have from what they need.

$400-$160 = $240

Since we know the price of the ticket and now know they need $240 we can divide our $240 with the price of each ticket ($3)

$240/$3 = 80

So the drama club has to sell 80 more tickets in order to afford new lighting
