Answer 6

A is number of adult tickets. S is number of student tickets.

The problem says total of them is 428. It also says 3 times more student tickets sold than adult tickets.

Answer 7

soo... divide 428 by 3?

Answer 8

No. If A +S = 428 and S = 3A, you substitute and get:
A + 3A = 428

Answer 9

107?

Answer 10

Yes.

Answer 11

first.
Since the total tickets sold = 428
then, it means that the tickets were sold to both adults and Students
So lets take A for adults and S for students
so 428 = S + A
But if number of students ticket was 3times that of adults then,
S= 3A
So, substitute 3A for S
so 428 = 3A + A
428= 4A
A = 107
Hence number of adult tickets = 107
