Answer:
3,724 lottery tickets were sold.
Explanation:
When you say percent, it means a part for every one hundred. So when you say 74% it can be expressed as the fraction:
To determine how many tickets were sold, you need to find a fraction or a ratio that is proportional to 74/100 where 5032 is proportional to 100.
But since you cannot sell only part of a ticket, we round that up to the nearest whole number:
3,724
Answer:
Letter to your Uncle thanking him for the gift he gave you.

Dearest Uncle Fraser,
It’s been so long since we met. When I received my gift by courier I was pleasantly surprised. It was very thoughtful of you to send me a pair of swimming goggles. I’ve wanted them for as long as I can remember; so when I received them on my birthday it was a dream come true.
I immediately went swimming armed with my new goggles. They are a perfect fit Uncle Fraser, and watertight as well. I can now swim underwater, something I’ve always wanted to do. It was very considerate of you to pick a pair with dark glasses as the sun shines relentlessly on the pool everyday but thanks to the dark glasses I don’t have to squint my eyes while swimming anymore.
I have a week off from college in August. If it is alright with you, I would love to come visit you. I’ve written a lot of poems since we last met and a special one just for you. I will bring it along when I come to meet you.
With love and best wishes,
Your loving nephew,
It’s a simile bc it’s not really exaggerating anything. A hyperbole would be like if you were in a line and said “it’s gonna take a million years to get to the front”
