Question

a total of 345 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?

Answer 1

115

Explanation:

a + s = 345

s = 2a

a + 2a = 345

3a = 345

a = 345/3

a = 115 <===== adult tickets

s = 2a

s = 2(115)

s = 230......student tickets
