Question

A total of 402 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:

134

Step-by-step explanation:

• Total number of tickets = 402

• Let the number of adult tickets be x =?

Now according to the situation,

• Number of student tickets = 2x

Therefore, the total nunber of tickets is as follows

• No. Of student tickets + no. Of adult tickets.

So equation becomes

2x + x = 402

3x = 402

3x/3 = 402/3

x = 134
