At his local arcade, Turner has earned 17 tickets playing an electronic dance game and 22 tickets playing a car racing game. He wants to get the marshmallow shooter prize, which costs 65 tickets. How many more tickets does he need?

Answer 1

To find out how many more tickets Turner needs for the marshmallow shooter prize, we first need to calculate the total number of tickets he currently has.

Turner has earned:

• 17 tickets from the electronic dance game
• 22 tickets from the car racing game

Now, we add these two amounts together:

\[ 17 + 22 = 39 \]

Turner currently has 39 tickets. The prize costs 65 tickets, so we need to determine how many more tickets he needs by subtracting the number of tickets he has from the cost of the prize:

\[ 65 - 39 = 26 \]

Therefore, Turner needs 26 more tickets to redeem the marshmallow shooter prize.
