A total of 710 tickets were sold for the school play . They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 60 more student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold ?

Respuesta :

Answer: 325

Explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets be x

( since there are an unknown amount of tickets for adults, we already know how many student tickets there are)

Let the number of student tickets be x+60

710=x+x+60

710=2x+60

 -60        -60

650=2x

650/2

= 325

Adult tickets=325

Student tickets=385
