Question

To raise money for homecoming the student council sold a total of 240 tickets to a basketball game the number of adult tickets sold was 2 times the number of student tickets based on this information would it be reasonable for the student council to have sold 160 student tickets and 80 adult tickets

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

because the number of student tickets 160 is higher than the number of adult tickets 80 and the information tells us that the adult tickets were twice the amount of student tickets sold. If the numbers were swapped to be adult=160 and student=80 then it would be correct.

sorry for the long explanation especially if you find it confusing
