Question

Admission to a car show costs $5 for each ticket. After selling only 20 tickets, they decided to lower the price to $3 each. If they raise $217, how many tickets did they sell in all?

Answer 1

so first times $5x20=$100.  now minus $217-$100=1=$117. then you divide $117/$3=39. so your answer they sold 59 tickets that night.
