Answer 1

You can buy 11 tickets for $185.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many tickets you can buy for $185, you need to subtract the processing fee from the total amount and then divide the remaining amount by the cost of one ticket.

1. Subtract the processing fee: $185 - $20 = $165
2. Divide the remaining amount by the ticket price: $165 ÷ $15 = 11

You can buy 11 tickets for $185.
