Taegan goes to a carnival where she wins tickets from each of the 5 carnival games and also finds 5 tickets on the floor. Each ticket is worth $3. In total, she has tickets that total a value of $30. If Taegan won an equal number of tickets from each of the games, how many tickets did she win from each game? Give me reasons, before answering the question
If tickets are valued at $3 then in total, Taegan has won $30 in total tickets / $3 per ticket = 10 tickets. Some of these tickets were found so only 10 total tickets – 5 found tickets = 5 tickets were won from carnival games. She therefore won 5 tickets / 5 carnival games = 1 ticket from each game. So the final answer is 1.
