Russel and Jen went to the circus. Jen played a shooting game twice, while Russel rode the carousel three times. If the shooting game costs 5 tickets and the carousel costs 3 tickets. How many tickets did they use?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Jen used 5 x 2 = 10 tickets in the shooting game. Russel used 3 x 3 = 9 tickets in the carousel. Therefore, they used 10 + 9 = 19 tickets in all.
Thus, the answer is 19.
