Urgent Help!
Pls help
4/3 = x/36
3x = 144
x = 48
Mark has 48 tickets
84
To find the number of tickets Mark has, we can set up a proportion based on the ratio of tickets between Mark and Julia.
Given that the ratio of tickets between Mark and Julia is 4:3, we can write it as:
4/3 = x/36
To solve this proportion, we can cross multiply:
4*36 = 3*x
Simplifying, we have:
144 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
x = 144/3
x = 48
So, Mark has 48 tickets.
To find the number of tickets they had together, we can simply add the number of tickets Mark and Julia have:
Total tickets = Mark's tickets + Julia's tickets
Total tickets = 48 + 36
Total tickets = 84
Therefore, they had 84 tickets together.
