Answer 2

17 individual purchases. The first choice has only 15 purchases (5 + 10) so that is out.
The other three are all 17 purchases. To find out which one: Multiply the number of tickets in each choice by the prize of a ticket. Multiply the number of snacks in each choice by the prize of a snack. Add them up. See if the total exceeds $95. If it does it is out too. By elimination you can find the correct answer.

Answer 3

Its 4 tickets and 13 snacks right?
