Question 995325: Gina sold 6 times as many raffle tickets as katie. If katie had sold 65 more raffle tickets she would have tied Gina for first place. How many raffle tickets did katie sell?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
g, Gina's tickets
k, Katie's tickets
system%28g=6k%2Ck%2B65=g%29

Study and find how the system of equations makes sense according to the description. When that makes sense, then solving the system should be no trouble.
