Question

A radio station had 205 tickets to a concert. They gave away 4 times as many tickets to listeners as to employees. How many tickets did they give away to employees?

Answer 1

Answer:

As per the statement: A radio station had 205 tickets to a concert. They gave away 4 times as many tickets to listeners as to employees.

⇒Let number of tickets Employees have x and Number of ticket Listeners  have 4x

It is also, given that a radio station had 205 ticket to a concert.

⇒ $\text{Number of ticket Employees have} +\text{Number of ticket Listeners have} = 205$

Then, substitute the given values we have;

$4x + x = 205$

Combine like terms, we have;

$5x = 205$

Divide both sides by 5 we have;

x = 41

Therefore, number of tickets did they give away to employees have 41 tickets
