Addyson Cherry · Answer 1

50

since listeners get 4 times as many as employees we can set that to 5x. 4 for listeners and 1 for employees

250 = 5x

50=x

Jerry Salinas · Answer 2

X=amount of tickets given to employees

4x=amount of tickets given to listeners

set up an equation: 5x=250

x=50

The company gave 50 tickets to employees and 200 tickets to listeners
