Question

a total of 536 tickets were sold for the school play there either adult tickets or student tickets the number of student tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets sold how many adult tickets were sold​

Answer 1

134 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Adult tickets = x

Student tickets = y

According to given statement;

x + y = 536 Eqn 1

As the number of students tickets are three times more, therefore

y = 3x Eqn 2

Putting value of y in Eqn 1;

$x+3x=536\\4x=536\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 4\\\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{536}{4}\\ x=134$

134 adult tickets were sold.
