Answer 1

18 total student tickets and 22 total adult tickets

Explanation:

I tried splitting the total tickets in half, but it got me a total of $220. I then went a different route, and instead of having it be equal total tickets sold for both students and adults, I multiplied 6 with 22 and 5 by 18, which got me to the total amount of money, which is the $232. Hope this helps.
