#1: 214 tickets split 9 ways does not work out to an integer number. Nobody wants 2/3 of a ticket, right?

So the trick here is to determine the first multiple of 9 greater than 214.

Note that 214/9 = 23.8. No good. Not an integer.

Multiply 23 by 9; we get 207. Multiply 24 by 9; we get 216.

So, given that we have 214 tickets already, we need 2 more, to make 216.

Check: Is 216 divisible by 9 without a remainder? Yes. Then each of the 9 students will get 24 tickets.

The rest of the problems are somewhat similar to this one.

See whether you can do the next one, #2.

If you'd share your results, I'd be happy to comment on what you've done.
