Question

Blake, Chang, and Grace together sold 71 tickets for the school banquet. Blake sold 27 tickets and Chang sold 28 tickets. How many tickets did Grace sell? (5 points) 16 43 44 55

Answer 1

Grace sold 16 tickets.

Explanation:

We have a total of 71 tickets sold between 3 people. Blake sold 27 tickets and Chang sold 28 tickets. Adding those sold by Blake and those sold by Chang, gives us: 27 + 28 = 55, if that amount is subtracted from the total sales that are 71 tickets, the result would be: 71 - 55 = 16, which would be the tickets sold by Grace.

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

because to get what you need add 27 and 28 and you get 55 then subtract 71 by 55 to get 16

71-(27+28)
