Each of the 24 students in Mr. Shaw's homeroom sold 10 tickets to a sports event. How many tickets (x) were sold in the homeroom?

A) 10x = 24 *****

B) 24/10 = x

C) x = 24 + 10

D) x/24 = 10

Assistance of any kind would be appreciated!

1 answer

not A
D, because both are the ratio of tickets to students
x/24 = 10/1

I mean, clearly 24 students, each selling 10 tickets means 240 tickets wer sold, right?
