Meredith is playing games at the arcade to earn tickets that she can exchange for a prize. She has 278 tickets from a previous visit, and she earns 5 each game she plays. If Meredith needs 388 tickets to exchange for the prize, how many games does Meredith need to play?

I believe the answer would be 22

I am assuming she already has 278, so the amount of tickets needed needs to be found
388-278 = 110

Since she gets 5 tickets from each game, you divide
110/5 = 22

So she would need to play 22 games to get the remainder of the tickets

Please correct me if I am wrong, have a good day!

Also, the picture is blacked out, from my personal experience, the picture needs to exist in your device as in your camera roll before you upload it.
