Answer provided by our tutors

if 3 tickets cost $2 then the price of one ticket is 2/3 dollars


if x is the number of tickets you can buy for $10 we have


x*(2/3) = 10 multiply both sides by 3


2x = 30 divide both sides by 2


x = 30/2


x = 15 tickets


for $10 you can buy 15 tickets.


another way to solve the problem is by considering the proportion


3: 2 = x : 10


x = (3*10)/2


x= 15 tikcets
