A total of 432 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:

144 tickets.

Explanation:

So first we have to take the total amount of tickets sold and divide that by 3 (because students bought 2/3 of those tickets and adults bought 1/3 of those tickets). So we get the answer of 144. So that means that the adults bought 144 tickets and the students bought 288 tickets.
