    Step-by-step explanation:

    We assume they gave away all 78 tickets.

    They gave away x tickets to employees.

    Then the number of tickets they gave to listeners is 2x.

    Altogether they gave away x + 2x = 3x tickets.

    They gave away 78 tickets, so we get the equation

    3x = 78

    3x/3 = 78/3

    x = 26

    Answer: 26
