There were 56 corn dogs sold at the fair in one hour. A total of 448 tickets were collected for the corn dogs. How many tickets are needed to purchase 30 corn dogs?

Answer 1

To find out how many tickets are needed to purchase 30 corn dogs, we can set up a proportion using the information given:

56 corn dogs = 448 tickets
30 corn dogs = x tickets

Cross multiply to solve for x:

56 * x = 30 * 448
56x = 13440

Divide by 56 on both sides to solve for x:

x = 240

So, 240 tickets are needed to purchase 30 corn dogs.
