Question

A total of 354 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

umber of adult tickets sold. How many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

x = adult tix

2x = student tix

2x + x = 354

3x = 354

x = 118

answer:

adult tix = 118

student tix = 2 * 118 = 236
