7
19
29
37

Answer 1

Ric sold 19 tickets for the fundraising

Explanation:

Answer 2

To determine the number of tickets that Ric sold, subtract from the total tickets sold the sum of the number of tickets sold by Alex and Ian. This is mathematically shown as,

tickets (Ric) = tickets (total) - (tickets (Alex) + tickets (Ian))

tickets (Ric) = 48 - (11 + 18) = 19

Hence, Ric sold 19 tickets for the fundraising.
