Medal?

anonymous · Answer

So you set up a ratio. $$\frac{ $96 }{ 8  tickets }$$

anonymous · Answer

Then you divide 96 by 8 to get the cost of 1 ticket.

96/8=12 so $$\frac{ $12 }{ 1 ticket }$$

Or you can set it up 8/96
It doesn't matter at least the labels are the same
Dollars to tickets or Ticket to dollars

You now multiply 12 by 3 since you are looking for the price of 3 tickets.

12*3=36 so now you finally get B. $36 or $$\frac{ $36 }{ 3 tickets }$$
