Question

A total of 396 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult ticket sor 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

The answer would be 97 adult tickets.

Explanation:

Number of adult tickets sold = x

Number of student tickets sold = 3x

(example: 3 times the number of adult tickets sold)

total tickets sold = 3x +x = 4x = 388(given)

=> x = 388/4 = 97
