many tickets as Maria. Maria sold thrice as many tickets as John.
If John sold 183 tickets, how many tickets did the three of them
sell altogether.​

Answer 1

Answer:

if john sold 183 ticket than maria sold 3*183=549 ticket

so bobby sold twice of maria i..e 2*549=1098 ticket

total=1098+549+183=1830tickets

Answer 2

Given:-

• Bobby sold twice as many tickets as Maria.
• Maria sold thrice as many tickets as John.
• John sold 183 tickets.

To find:-

• Number of tickets sold all together.

Solution:-

We know that John sold 183 tickets.

Since Maria sold thrice as many tickets as John, she sold (183×3=549) 549 tickets.

And since Bobby sold twice as many tickets as Maria, he sold (549×2=1098) 1,098 tickets.

To find how many tickets were sold altogether, we need to add the three values.

So, 1,098+549+183= 1,830 tickets.

Answer:-

They sold 1,830 tickets in total.
