Question

250 tickets for the school dance were sold. On Monday 35 tickets were sold. An equal number of tickets were sold each day for the next five days how many tickets were sold on one day

Answer 1

43 tickets were sold on one day

Explanation:

250 tickets for the school dance were sold and on Monday, 35 tickets were sold.

This means that after Monday, the number of tickets sold were:

250 - 35 = 215 tickets

This means that 215 tickets were sold for the next five days.

If an equal number of tickets were sold on those 5 days, then, the number of tickets sold on each day is:

215 / 5 = 43 tickets

Therefore, 43 tickets were sold on each of the five days (43 tickets were sold on one day).
