74 % of the lottery tickets were sold. If the number of tickets sold was 5032, what was the total number of tickets?

6800 tickets

Answer: 6800

Step-by-step explanation:

74/100=5032/x because 74% out of 100% were sold which equals to 5032 tickets out of an unknown amount.

so then you cross multiply and you end up with the equation 5032*100=74x

if you do the math you get 503200=74x

then you divide both sides by 74 and you end up with x = 6800
