a total of 340 tickets were sold for the school play. they were either adult tickets or student tickets. the number of student tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets sold. how many adult tickets were sold

85 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let A = number of adult tickets sold and s = number of student tickets sold. Now, the number of adult tickets and student tickets sold added equal 340 tickets.

Therefore, A + s = 340

We also know that number of student tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets sold.

Therefore, s = 3A

We can now substitute s with 3A.

A + 3A = 340

4A = 340 (Divide both sides by 4.)

A = 85

Therefore, 85 adult tickets were sold. Please mark brainliest if possible and I hope you get a good grade on your homework.
