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!

 

You can plug the answers back and check if you want!

x/10 + x/10 + 6 + 82 = x

 

x = 110

 

Ken sold   x/10 + 6 = 17
