Ron is collecting tickets for a school play and needs to determine how many people are attending the show. Several groups give him envelopes with tickets for the entire group. One group gives him 24 tickets, another group gives him 53 tickets, and a third group gives him 14 tickets. A fourth group gives him 68 tickets, a fifth group gives him 16 tickets, and a sixth group gives him 12 tickets. Ron also collects 77 individual tickets. How many total tickets does Ron collect?

Answer 1

264

Explanation:

The answer is 264. Just add them up. 16+68+77+12+14+53+24.

You could also group them up like this: 16+24+68+12+77+53+14

That equals 264!
