Final answer:

To find out how many tickets Aikira needs to become a black belt, we can subtract the points she has from the total points needed and then divide the result by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many tickets Aikira needs to become a black belt, we can use the equation:

t = (475 - 319) / 3

where t represents the number of tickets she needs. By subtracting the number of points she has already earned from the number of points needed for a black belt rating, we find the remaining points she needs. Then, by dividing this number by 3 (since she earns 3 points per ticket), we can find the number of tickets she needs.

In this case, the calculation would be:

t = (475 - 319) / 3 = 156 / 3 = 52

Therefore, Aikira needs 52 tickets to become a black belt.

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

since the number of point she need is 475 and the number of points she has already is 319

therefore the number of point she now needs to gain in order to get black belt rating is 475-319=156

if 1 ticket = 3points

then 156/3=52

therefore the number of tickets she needs is 52
