Thankss!

Answer 9

actually my equation was wrong since i am solving for $5 tickets. so be careful here

Answer 10

it asks for number of $3 tickets sold

Answer 11

Yes.

Answer 12

so the answer is 40 $5 tickets and therefore 10 $3 tickets. the correct answer to the question asked is 10, not 40

Answer 13

How'd you get 10?

Answer 14

you could either solve
\[3x+5(50-x)=230\] or reason that if there are 40 $5 tickets sold and the total is 50 then there must be 10 sold at $3

Answer 15

Yeah. okay thanks!
