A total of 237 tickets were sold for the school play they were either adult tickets or student tickets the number of student tickets sold was two times the number of adult tickets sold how many adult tickets were sold

Number of adult tickets sold = 79

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of adult tickets sold = x

Then number of children ticket sold = 2x

Total tickets sold = 237

2x + x = 237

3x = 237

x= 237/3

x= 79

Number of adult tickets sold = 79

Extra: Number of children ticket sold = 2x = 79*2 = 158
