Answer» g, Peter sold tickets = x ( Because both the Gary and tracy tickets are according to Peter) Gary = x + 8 ( Sold 8 more ticket than Peter, given) Tracy = x - 12 ( Sold 12 less ticket than Peter, given) Total tickets sold = 50So Peter + Gary + Tracy = 50Therefore, x + x +8 + x -12 = 503x - 4 = 503x = 54x = 18Therefore, Peter sold x Tickets = 18Garry sold 8 More than Peter (x + 8) = 26Tracy sold 12 less than Peter (x - 12) = 6So, Total tickets sold = 18 (Peter) + 26 (Garry) + 6 Tracy = 50 Tickets. So Gary (GRAY) sold 26 Tickets. |
