Answer 1

Answer: 24,000 tickets

Step-by-step explanation: The idea is just to round up the original ticket sold to the nearest thousand. That is 23,847 tickets to the nearest thousand is 24,000 since the next number after 3 is 8 which is greater or equal to five so you take it as 1 and add it to 3 making the total number of tickets sold as 24,000.
