Dan sold 40 concert tickets in 5 days.
Each day he sold 3 tickets MORE than the
previous day. The number of tickets he
sold on the third day is?


Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of tickets sold by Dan the first day is x.

Tickets sold on the 2nd day: x+3

on the 3rd day: x+6

on the 4th day: x+9

on the 5th: x+12

Since the total of tickets sold by Dan is 40:

x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+(x+12)=40

5x+30=40

5x=10

x=2

number of tickets sold on the third day: 8
