Question

Dan sold 40 concert ticket in 5 days. Each day he sold 3 tickets more than the previous day. What is the number of ticket he sold on the third day?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first day.

x + x + 3 + x + 6 + x + 9 + x + 12 = 40

5x + 30 = 40

x = 2

The third day = x + 6 = 8

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

The number of ticket he sold on the third day is 8.

What is the number of ticket he sold on the third day?

Let x = tickets sold on the first day

• Tickets sold on the second day = x + 3
• Tickets sold on the third day = x + 6
• Tickets sold on the fourth day =  x + 9
• Tickets sold on the fifth day = x + 12

Total tickets sold : x + x + 3 + x + 6 + x + 9 + x + 12 = 40

30 + 5x = 40

5x = 40 - 30

5x = 10

x = 2

Tickets sold on the third day = 2 + 6  = 8
