Answer 1

so first, 1384.50/53.25 = 26. So you have 26 groups of 3 ticket, which means you have 78 tickets. Now you know that for every 3 tickets you buy you get one free. Since you bought 26 groups of 3 tickets, you got 26 additional free tickets. Do total tickets = 78+26=104

Answer 2

but do you know how to put it in a proportion? :)

Answer 3

since you know that you paid 1384.50 total for all your tickets, and a group of 3 tickets costs 53.25. Divide the total amount spent by the cost of a group of 3 tickets. Then you know how many groups of three tickets you have, which is how many additional free tickets you receive.
