Nate needs 250 tickets to get the price he wants at the arcade. He already has 73 tickets chicken and 15 tickets each. Try me plays in arcade game. How many games do we have to play in order to have enough tickets to win the price he wants
Nate needs 250 tickets in total.
He already has 73 tickets.
He earns 15 tickets for each game played.
Let x be the number of games he needs to play.
The equation to represent this situation is:
73 + 15x = 250
Solving for x:
15x = 250 - 73
15x = 177
x = 177 / 15
x = 11.8
Since Nate cannot play a fraction of a game, he will need to play at least 12 games in order to earn enough tickets to win the prize he wants.
