A total of 684 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 66 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 375 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Adult tickets = a
  • Student tickets = s

Total tickets:

  • a + s = 684

The difference:

  • a - s = 66

Add up the equations to solve for a:

  • a + s + a - s = 684 + 66
  • 2a = 750
  • a = 750/2
  • a = 375
