hi MeteorShower and welcome to web2.0calc forum 

My answer might look a bit long but it is worth your while to work through it.  

you have 3010 tickets  and there will be 14 concerts.

Each concert has the same number of tickets.

----------------------

Let's think about another easier problem first.

You have 10 lollies and you want to divide them between 5 children.

2+2+2+2+2=2 x 5=10  so they get 2 lollies each.

How can you put 10 and 5 together to get 2?     

10 divided by 5 =2

10 lollies divided between 5 children = 10 ÷ 5 = 2  

------------------------------

NOW for your problem.

3010 tickets divided between 14 concerts must be 3010÷14=215 tickets for each concert

CHECK

215 x 14 = 3010   That is right.  Excellent!
