Question

A total of 448 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. The number of students tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets sold. How many tickets were sold

Answer 1

Students = 336

Adults = 112

Explanation:

What you do is you have to make it into an equation.

Students = 3x

Adults = x

x + 3x = 448

4x = 448

x = 112.

There are 112 adults that went.

You will now times 112 by 3

112 x 3 = 336.

Students = 336

Adults = 112

Answer 2

Kid tickets = 3d

D = adult tickets

448 = (3 * d) + d

448 = 4d

448/4 = 112

112 = d

3 * d = 336

There are 336 kid tickets and 112 adult tickets sold.
