Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: Each students will get 3 tickets and 2 brownies  . Step-by-step explanation:Given as :The total number of tickets issued for the school dance = 64The number of brownies ordered for refreshment table = 96Let the number of tickets given to each student = xAnd The number of brownie given to each student = yNow,According to questionThe tickets and brownies is distributed equally among studentsSo , Now, consider the tickets and brownies = n Or, [tex]\dfrac{n}{64}[/tex] - [tex]\dfrac{n}{96}[/tex] = 1Or, Taking LCM we get[tex]\dfrac{3 n - 2 n}{192}[/tex] = 1Or, [tex]\dfrac{n}{192}[/tex] = 1∴ n = 192Now, The number of tickets given to each student = x = [tex]\dfrac{192}{64}[/tex]I.e x = 3 And The number of brownie given to each student = y =  [tex]\dfrac{192}{96}[/tex]I.e y = 2Hence Each students will get 3 tickets and 2 brownies  .
