Answer
9 tickets were bought.
Work Step by Step
You have to find how many tickets were bought. 252 dollars were spent.
To find out the price of a ticket you have to add 25+3=28 because 25 is the ticket price plus a 3 dollar fee.So each ticket costs 28 dollars.
Divide the total cost spent and the individual price of a ticket:
252$\div$28=9
So 9 tickets were bought.
