Question

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

A total of 440 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 60 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

I belive but not sure that it could be 280

Answer 2

that's not the answer but its close.

Answer 3

what i did is divide it by two and then on one side minus 60 and add it to the other side

Answer 4

a + s = 440
s = a - 60

now sub a - 60 in for s and solve for a

Answer 5

can someone help me with another question? Gabrielle's age is three times Mikhail's age. The sum of their ages is 104 . What is Mikhail's age?

Answer 6

g = 3m
g + m = 104

now sub 3m in for g in the 2nd equation and solve for m

Answer 7

okay, I got 26

Answer 8

Get adult tickets = a
student tickets = s
And find an equation for them :
a+s=440
And you said :
There were 60 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets.
So can say :
s=a-60
Then get a-60 to s .
So you have :
a-60+a=440
2a=440-60
Find a .

Answer 9

26 is correct

Answer 10

Mikhail's age=m
Gabrielle's age = g
We have :
g=3m
And :
m+g = 104
m+3m=104
4m=104
m=26

Answer 11

thank you e.ali! as well.

Answer 12

In this question just get a thing like words for each things and write an equation for them .
And remember your equation is very important .
