Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume they gave away all 78 tickets.

They gave away x tickets to employees.

Then the number of tickets they gave to listeners is 2x.

Altogether they gave away x + 2x = 3x tickets.

They gave away 78 tickets, so we get the equation

3x = 78

3x/3 = 78/3

x = 26

Answer: 26
