Question

Shaunee won 79 tickets at Chuck e' Cheese's. She
kept 25 of them, and split the rest evenly between 3
friends. How many did each friend get?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement, we can set up the following equation:

$3N + S = 79$

where $N$ is the number of tickets each friend got, and $S$ is the number of tickets that Shaunee got. We know that Shaunee got 25, so we know $S = 25$ and can plug that into the equation:

$3N + 25 = 79$

Subtracting 25 from each side gives us the following:

$3N = 54$

Dividing both sides by 3 gives us the answer:

$N = 18$

Answer 2

79 tickets minus 25 is 54

Shawnee has 54 tickets to split between her friends.

54 divided by 3 friends equals 18 tickets.

You can check the answer by multiplying: 18x3 equals 54.

Hence, her friends each got 18 tickets...
