A movie theater had a certain number of tickets to give away. Five people got the tickets. The first got one-third of the tickets, the second got one-fourth of the tickets, and the third got one-fifth of the tickets. The fourth person got eight tickets, and ther were five tickets left for the fifth person. Find the total number of tickets given away.

let T be total tickets
T/3 + T/4 + T/5 +8+5=T multiply both sides by 60
T[20+15+12]+13[60]=60T
780=13T
T=60
