Answer:
20 games.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Meredith is playing games at an arcade to earn tickets that she can exchange for a prize.
She has 255 tickets from a previous visit.
She earns 6 tickets for each game she plays.
Meredith needs 375 tickets to exchange for the prize she wants.
Question asked:
How many games does Meredith need to play?
Solution:
Total tickets needed to exchange for the prize = 375
Meredith already have = 255 tickets
More tickets needed = 375 - 255 = 120 tickets
By unitary method:
She earns 6 tickets by playing = 1 game
She earns 1 ticket by playing = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] game
She earns 120 tickets by playing = [tex]\frac{1}{6}\times120=\frac{120}{6} =20\ games[/tex]
Therefore, she needs to play 20 games to earn 120 more tickets.
