Question

During a promotion at an aquarium, the number of adult tickets sold was 4 times

the total number of student tickets and senior citizen tickets sold. The number of
student tickets sold was three times that of senior citizen tickets. 142 more student
tickets than senior citizen tickets were sold. How many adult tickets were sold?
Step by step solving

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let Number of senior citizen tickets

sold = x

Number of students tickets sold = 3.x

Number of adult tickets sold = 4 x 3x

= 12x

/* According to the problem given */

3x = x + 142

+ 3x – x = 142

2 x = 142

142 == 2

> x = 71

. Number adult tickets sold

= 12x

= 12 x 71

= 852
