Question

Sue and Tasha are selling raffle tickets for their school fundraiser. Tasha has sold twelve more than twice the number of tickets sold by Sue. Together, they have sold a total of 72 tickets. How many tickets did each girl sell?

Answer 1

Tasha sold 52 and Sue sold 20.

Explanation:

First subtract 12 from 72 to get 60.

Then 60=40+20 and 40 is twice as much as 20

So, then Sue sold 20.

40+12=52 which is how many Tasha sold.
