Answer:

42 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

First winning = 90 tickets

Bonus won = 5 times the number of tickets of the original second prize

Total tickets won = 300

That is ;

First winning + bonus = 300 tickets

Let :

Number Tickets won by original second price = x

Bonus = 5x

Then;

90 + 5x = 300

5x = 300 - 90

5x = 210

x = 210 / 5

x = 42
