Answer: 29

Here's why:

Victor sold: 32 tickets

Leo sold: 26 tickets

So we are trying to find out how many tickets kate sold.

We add 32 and 26 together.

32 + 26 = 58

It says "Victor, Leo, and kate together sold 87 tickets for the school banquet."

and the total for Victor and Leo is 58

So all we have to do is 87 - 58 = 29

So the final answer is 29.

Explanation:

Very simple steps:

32 + 26 = 58

87 - 58 = 29

First you have to add Victor and Leo's tickets. 32+26=58 then you have to take 87 and subtract it by 58. 87-58=29 Kate sold 29. What I did was figure out what Victor and Leo sold and added it together then took their tickets out of the whole so the only one left is Kate's.
