Total packages = 1456, Days = 8

Packages per day = $\frac{1456}{8}$ = 182

Step1: Identify total rent and months (1 quarter = 3 months)

Total rent = $11460, Months = 3

Step2: Divide total by months

Monthly rent = $\frac{11460}{3}$ = 3820

Step1: Identify total cost and number of tickets

Total cost = $150, Tickets = 30

Step2: Divide total by tickets

Cost per ticket = $\frac{150}{30}$ = 5
