Question

the first time , she won 60 tickets . the second time , she won a bonus , which was 4 times the number of tickets of the original second prize . altogether she won 200 tickets . how many tickets were the original second prize

Answer 1

The second prize was 35
Explanation: altogether she won 60 tickets and the first prize was 60 tickets so that leaves us with 140. 140 divides by 4 = 35 (because she won a bonus which was 4 times the number of tickets of the original prize)

Answer 2

28 should be your answer

Explanation:

She won a total of 200 tickets.

First, subtract the first amount won with the total

200 - 60 = 140

Note that she won 4 times the amount of the original second prize. Therefore, divide by 5 (adding the original)

140/5 = 28

She won 28 tickets originally.
