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
