Marilyn spent $196 on concert tickets and Jocelyn spent $140. All the tickets cost

the same amount and each girl bought more than one ticket. You have $35. Can you

Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor of 196 and 140 is 28. The ticket is $28 and thats less than $35, so you can afford to buy a ticket. Also 196/28 = 7 and 140/28 = 5, and thats more than one ticket. So yes, you can afford to buy a ticket.

i might be wrong.
