total of 342 tickets were sold for school play. They were either adults 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 :

Answer:

684 I think ?!

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 114 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let student tickets be represented as 2t (since twice the amount of student tickets were sold)

and let t represent the amount of adult tickets.

Solve for t (number of tickets)

342= 2t + t. Combine like terms.

342= 3t. Divide both sides by 3.

114=t

114 adult tickets were sold.

Substitute 114 for t to find student tickets.

2(114)= 228 student tickets were sold.
