Answer:

C. 60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • 24,000 fans attended a football match
  • three times as many bought tickets
  • one-sixth of them cancelled their tickets

Three times as many bought tickets

24,000 * 3 = 72,000

one-sixth of them cancelled their tickets

72,000 * 1/6 = 12,000

Subtract

72,000 - 12,000 = 60,000

Answer

60,000 people are attending this week
