Question

Arthur played a basketball game at a carnival. He made 47 baskets before time ran out. He earned 13 tickets for each basket he made. Then, he went to the prize counter. Each prize cost 9 tickets. How many prizes can Arthur get?

Answer 1

67

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, in total, he made 47 baskets, and each basket is 13 tickets.

So in total, he made 611 tickets:

47·13

=611

Next, he wanted to get [a] prize(s), but each prize costs 9 tickets, we divide the total number of tickets he has by the prize cost.

611/9

=67.88...

You obviously can't get 0.88 of a prize, so the max amount of prizes that Arthur can get is 67.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer: 67

Step-by-step explanation:

47 x 13 = 611 -- so this is how many tickets he has total

611 / 9 = 67.9

So he can get 67 prizes.

a way you can check if this is right is by multiplying 67 by 9 and you see that is 603, and he has 611 tickets so he will even have a few tickets left over. but he can not get 68 prizes because if you see what 68 x 9 is, it is 612 which is one ticket more than what he has so he cant get it. So the max he can get is 67
