Question

Lavonne sold 4 times as many raffle tickets as Kenneth. Lavonne sold 56 raffle tickets. Write an equation with a variable and solve the equation to find how many tickets Kenneth sold

Answer 1

Equation: 4x = 56

Answer: 14 tickets

Explanation:

4x = 56

Lavonne's tickets sold 4 times as many as Kenneth's. This means we would need to multiply Kennneth's ticket by 4 to equal Lavonne's.

4x/4 = 56/4

Now you need to solve the equation by isolating x. Here you have to divide both sides by 4.

x = 14

Kenneth sold 14 tickets.

4(14) = 56
