Solution

The correct option is C 9
Detailed step-by-step solution:

Let us calculate the number of tickets that Roby has.

How many are 9 sets of 3 tickets?

Ans: 9 $\times$ 3 = 27

How many tickets would Roby have collected if he needs 27 more tickets?

Ans: 75 $-$ 27 = 48 tickets

As per the question,

Number of tickets that Roby has $+$ 3 = 48
Number of tickets that Roby has = 48 $-$ 3 = 45

Since 9 $\times$ 5 = 45 or 9 groups of 5 make 45, therefore, Roby has already collected 9 sets of 5 tickets.

WB:

Q: How many tickets does Roby still need to collect?
A: 75 $-$ 45 = 30
Q: How many tickets will he still need if he collects 20 more tickets?
A: 30 $-$ 20 = 10 more tickets
