Q:

Shaunee won 79 tickets at Chuck e' Cheese's. Shekept 25 of them, and split the rest evenly between 3friends. How many did each friend get?​

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:From the problem statement, we can set up the following equation:[tex]3N + S = 79[/tex]where [tex]N[/tex] is the number of tickets each friend got, and [tex]S[/tex] is the number of tickets that Shaunee got. We know that Shaunee got 25, so we know [tex]S = 25[/tex] and can plug that into the equation:[tex]3N + 25 = 79[/tex]Subtracting 25 from each side gives us the following:[tex]3N = 54[/tex]Dividing both sides by 3 gives us the answer:[tex]N = 18[/tex]
