Answer: Brian sold 35 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Brian had 42 class fair tickets to sell and he sold
(5)/(6) of the tickets.

We are to find the number of tickets that Brian sold.

We have

Total number of tickets that Brian had = 42.

Since he sold five-sixth of the total tickets that he had, so the number of tickets that Brian sold is given by


N_s=(5)/(6)* \textup{total number of tickets}=(5)/(6)*42=5*7=35.

Thus, Brian sold 35 tickets.
