A total of 600 tickets were sold for the school play. There were either adult tickets or student tickets there were 50 fewer student tickets sold then adult tickets how many adult tickets were there sold? 325 adult tickets answer
Let the number of adult tickets be x.
Then the number of student tickets will be (x-50).
Total number of tickets = 600
So, x + (x-50) = 600
2x - 50 = 600
2x = 650
x = 325
Hence, there were 325 adult tickets sold.
Then the number of student tickets will be (x-50).
Total number of tickets = 600
So, x + (x-50) = 600
2x - 50 = 600
2x = 650
x = 325
Hence, there were 325 adult tickets sold.
