A total of 303 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. The number of student tickets sold was two times the number of adult tickets sold. How many adult tickets were sold?

Simple ratio

2:1

Add them you get 2+1=3 (LOL)

3--------->303
1---------->303/3=101
2--------->101*2=202

Number of adult tickets sold will be 202

As simple as that.
