A total of
273
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?

Respuesta :

Let A be the number of Adult tickets and S, the Students'

A+ S = 273, but we know that S=2.A

Then A + 2A = 273 ; 3A =273; A =273/3 =91

So 91 tickets were sod to Adults & 182 Tickets to Students
