The number of adult ticket sold in school play is 375.
An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign. For example, 3x – 5 = 16 is an equation. Solving this equation, we get the value of the variable x as x = 7.
According to the question
A total of 700 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets.
Let students be S
And adult be A
The equation will be
S + A = 700 ---------------(1)
There were 50 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets.
i.e
S = A – 50 ---------------(2)
Substituting the value of equation (2) in equation (1)
S + A = 700
A – 50 + A = 700
2A - 50= 700
2A = 750
A = 375
Now ,
Putting value of A in equation (2)
S = A – 50
S = 375 – 50
S = 325
Hence, The number of adult ticket sold in school play is 375.
