Question

50% of the tickets sold at a school carnival were early-admission tickets. If the school sold 64

tickets in all, how many early-admission tickets did it sell?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is 32 tickets were early admission

Explanation:

T = Total tickets sold

E = Early admission tickets

If 50% of the total tickets are for early admission, then our equation would be:

E = T * 50% (or .5)

Substitute 64 for the total tickets

E = 64 * .5

E = 32

Answer 2

Answer: 32

Explanation:

50% = x/2

50% of 64 = 64/2

50%=32
