Question

A total of 714 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 64 more

student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

The adult tickets total were 293

Explanation:

714 divided by 2 ( because there is only 2 types of tickets ) and 714 divided by 2 equals 357 ad because the student tickets sold better 357 minus 64 = 293 and you prove that by multyplying 357 x 2 = 714

your welcome :)

Answer 2

714 is the total number that is sold, if there is 64 more tickets sold for students then adults, then do 714 divided by 2 and add 32 to get the number for students, and for adults do 714 divided by 2 and subtract by 32. so, like this 714/2+32=389 tickets for students and 714/2-32=325 for adults. Hope this helps
