Let's set up a system of equations based on the given information:
Let a be the number of adult tickets sold and s be the number of student tickets sold.
From the given information, we have the following equations:
1) 3a + 2.5s = 347.5
2) a + s = 124
Now we can solve this system of equations by substitution or elimination. Let's use substitution:
From equation 2, we have a = 124 - s.
Substitute this into equation 1:
3(124 - s) + 2.5s = 347.5
372 - 3s + 2.5s = 347.5
372 - 0.5s = 347.5
-0.5s = -24.5
s = 49
Now we can substitute s back into equation 2 to solve for a:
a + 49 = 124
a = 75
Therefore, 75 adult tickets and 49 student tickets were sold.
Let a be the number of adult tickets sold and s be the number of student tickets sold.
From the given information, we have the following equations:

2) a + s = 124
Now we can solve this system of equations by substitution or elimination. Let's use substitution:
From equation 2, we have a = 124 - s.
Substitute this into equation 1:
3(124 - s) + 2.5s = 347.5
372 - 3s + 2.5s = 347.5
372 - 0.5s = 347.5
-0.5s = -24.5
s = 49
Now we can substitute s back into equation 2 to solve for a:
a + 49 = 124
a = 75
Therefore, 75 adult tickets and 49 student tickets were sold.
