Jeremy had 36 community concert tickets to sell. He sold 2 and 3 and a third of the tickets did jeremy sell
To find out how many tickets Jeremy sold, you need to add up the number of tickets he got rid of.
First, he sold 2 tickets.
Then, he sold 3 tickets.
To find out the total, you add these numbers together:
2 + 3 = 5
So far, Jeremy has sold 5 tickets.
Next, we need to calculate one-third of the remaining tickets. To do this, we divide the number of tickets by 3.
Remaining tickets = Total tickets - Tickets sold
Remaining tickets = 36 - 5 = 31
Tickets sold (1/3) = Remaining tickets / 3
Tickets sold (1/3) = 31 / 3
To find out how many tickets Jeremy sold altogether, we need to add the tickets he sold initially to the tickets he sold one-third of.
Tickets sold (2 and 1/3) = Tickets sold + Tickets sold (1/3)
Tickets sold (2 and 1/3) = 5 + (31/3)
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator:
5 + (31/3) = (15/3) + (31/3) = 46/3
So, Jeremy sold approximately 15 and 1/3 concert tickets.
