I think 12. I'm not sure though. The way I came up with that answer is the tree diagram. I used the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, . Then I did the tree diagram method.
Earl is incorrect
let x be the number of discount tickets sold
then the number of regular tickets sold is 6x
the total tickets sold is 1456, thus
x + 6x = 1456
7x = 1456 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 208
number of discount tickets sold = 208
≠ 208
but
= 208
Earl is incorrect , dividing by 7 gives the amount sold
