Question

If 15 tickets for a baseball game cost $97.50, how many tickets can be bought for $71.50

Answer 1

Each ticket is 6.5 (divide 97.5 by 15), since we know this we can think of a number close to 13, such as 11, which gives you exactly 71.50

Answer 2

At 15 tickets, it’s 6 dollars and 50 cents per ticket. Your answer would be 11 tickets, at 71.50
