A total of 536 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. The number of student tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets sold. How many adult tickets were sold?

think of it as one group of adult tickets and 3 groups of student tickets which is 4 groups, so divide 536 by 4. the answer is 134 which is the amount of adult tickets sold (if you wanted the amount of student tickets then you can just subtract 134 from 536).
