Question

A total of tickets were sold for the school play. They were 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

the number of adult ticket sold is 107 tickets

Explanation:

The computation of the number of adult ticket sold is shown below:

Let us assume the number of tickets be x,

So, the adult be x

And for student it would be 3x

Students= 2x

Adults= x

Total = 4x

Now the equation could be

4x = 428

x = 107

This x signifies the adult tickets sold i.e 107

Hence, the number of adult ticket sold is 107 tickets
