Question

Two hundred and fifty tickets were sold for the school dance. On Monday, 35 tickets were sold. An equal number of tickets were sold each day for the next five days. How many tickets were sold on one of those days?

Answer 1

1. 250 - 35 = 215
2. x • 5 = 215, where x is the amount of tickets sold on 1 given day.
3. 215/5 = 43
There were about 43 tickets sold on 1 day other than Monday.
4. Check your work. 43 x 5 = 215, 215 + 35 = 250
