Question

A total of 629 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 71 fewer student tickets sold than adult

tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

350 adult tickets were sold.

Explanation:

let x = number of adult tickets

number of student tickets -> x-71

x - 71 + x = 629

2x - 71 = 629

2x = 700

x = 350
