The college hiking club is having a fund raiser to buy new equipment for fall and winter outings. The club is selling Chinese fortune cookies at a price of $1 per cookie. Each cookie contains a piece of paper with a different number written on it. A random drawing will determine which number is the winner of the dinner for two at a local Chinese restaurant. The dinner is valued at $35. Since the fortune cookies were donated to the club, we can ignore the cost of the cookies. The club sold 571 cookies before the drawing.
