Question

Milo and Audrey sold tickets to the school concert. Milo sold 14 fewer tickets than Audrey. If Milo sold 32 tickets, how many tickets did Audrei sell?

Please Show your work.

Answer 1

We can represent this with an equation:
A-14=m.
A represents the amount of tickets Audrey sold and m represents the amount of tickets milo sold.

Since we know the amount of tickets milo sold was 32, we can insert that for m in our equation.

A-14=32
Now just solve.
Add 14 on both sides to simplify.
A=46
Audrey sold 46 tickets.
Hope this helps!
