Question

A total of 291 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

Answer:

97 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets be x.

Number of student tickets = 2x

Total tickets=291

x+2x =291

3x = 291

x = 291/3

x = 97

Answer 2

Total no. of tickets = 291

Tickets sold for students = 2x

Tickets sold hor adults = x

Therefore, total no. of Tickets = 2x + x

= 3x

So, 291 Tickets = 3x

or, 3x = 291

or, x = 291/3

or, x = 97

Therefore, 97 Adults Tickets sold.
