Question

A radio station is giving away 40 concert tickets. The station gives away 2 tickets every hour on the hour of hours until there are at most 4 tickets left a grand prize. If the contest runs from 11:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m each day, for how many days will the contest last?

Answer 1

Answer:

About 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 11-1 has 3 hours in it. Each hour has 2 tickets given away. we then multiply the two numbers to find the total in one day. 2(3)=6

However, it wants to know when it has 4 at most left. SO 40-4=36

We know that  6 is the total given in 1 day therefore we use that to find how many days.

Take the total tickets after subtracting 4 (36) and divide by the total given away a day (6)

36/6= 6

Meaning a total of 6 days
