Question

75% of the tickets sold at a school carnival were early-admission tickets. If the school sold 44 tickets in all, how many early-admission tickets did it sell?

Answer 1

33 tickets

Explanation:

Let's call the number of early-admission tickets sold "x".

We know that 75% of the total tickets sold were early-admission tickets, so we can set up the equation:

0.75 * 44 = x

To solve for x, we first simplify the left side:

0.75 * 44 = 33

Now we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.75:

x = 33

Therefore, the school sold 33 early-admission tickets.
