A total of 563 tickets were sold for the school play. they were either adult tickets or student tickets. there were 63 more student tickets sold than adult tickets. how many adult tickets were sold?

Respuesta :

218.5 because there are 344.5 student tickets
Let Adult tickets be  a.

Student tickets were 63 more than adults = a + 63

Total = 563

a + a + 63 = 563

2a + 63 = 563

2a = 500

a = 500/2

a = 250

Recall a represents adult tickets. a = 250

Therefore 250 adult tickets were sold.
