AliciaAugello · Answer

The question is about determining how many tickets were given away to employees by a radio station, given that 5 times more were given to listeners. First, we need to define variables. 
 Let x represent the number of tickets given to employees. Since 5 times more tickets were given to listeners, we can say that 5x tickets were given to listeners. Therefore, x + 5x = 126. 
 Solving for x : 
 
 Multiply: 6x = 126 
 Divide both sides by 6: x = 126 / 6 
 x = 21 
 
 Hence, the radio station gave away 21 tickets to employees.

CherrylHannah · Answer

The radio station gave away 21 tickets to employees. Since they gave away 5 times as many tickets to listeners, the total tickets given away checks out to 126. Therefore, the calculation is accurate and confirmed.
