Question

A total of 645 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 55 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

Answer: 350 adult tickets

Explanation:

number of adult tickets sold = x

number of student tickets sold = x-55

x-55+x=645

2x-55=645

2x=700

x=350

Answer 2

X + 55 = 645
-55 -55

X= 590

590 adult tickets were sold.


If you wanna check just do 590 + 55
