Question

Mr. Wong bought 6 raffle tickets for $4 each. He gave each of his 3 children the same number of tickets. What was the cost of the tickets per child?

Answer 1

The cost is 8 dollars per child.

There are 6 raffle tickets for 4 dollars each and he has 3 kids.

Thats 2 tickets per child.

2x4=8

Answer 2

w=cost of one ticket

6w=$4
divide 6 on both sides
w=2/3 dollars per ticket

each child will get two tickets because 6/3 is 2

2/3×2= 4/3= $1.33 per child
