Question

a skating rink sold 66 tickets. of these 2/3 were children's tickets, and the rest were adult tickets. What total number of adult tickets were sold??

Answer 1

According to question

Total Number of Tickets Sold = 66 Tickets
Number of Tickets for Children = 2/3 of Total Tickets
Thus
Number of Tickets for Children = 2/3 * 66
                                                 = 44 Tickets
Thus

Tickets for adult = Total Tickets - Tickets for Children
                           = 66 - 44
                           = 22 Tickets

Answer 2

Solution :-

Total number of tickets = 66

Tickets for children = 2/3 of 66

= (2 × 66)/3

= 132/3

= 44 

Tickets for children = 44

Tickets for adults = Total tickets - Tickets for children 

⇒ 66 - 44 = 22

So, out of total 66 tickets, 22 tickets were for adults.
