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: 140 Adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation: 2x + x = 420

3x = 420

x = 140 Adult tickets

Answer 2

Answer:

134

Step-by-step explanation

x plus 2x= 402

2x plus x +3x so then it would be

3x = 402

then divide 3x and 402 by 3

you will then get

x = 134

to check your answer you can do 134 plus 268 and that equals 402.

you would add 134 to 268 because 268 is double 134.

Hopefully that helped.
