Joyce, Ken and Brandon sold some tickets. Joyce sold 1/10 of the tickets. Ken sold 6 more tickets than Joyce. Brandon sold 82 tickets. Find the number of tickets Ken sold.
Set all of the tickets the three people sold as X.
Joyce: 1/10X
Ken: 1/10X+6
Brandon: 82
we get 4/5X= 88, thus 1/X = 22, thus X = 110
Brandon sold 82(he really sold A LOT),
Joyce sold 11,
and Ken sold 17!
