Sagot :

Answer:

375

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say there were a adult tickets sold, we know that there were a + 68 student tickets sold.

a + a + 68 = 2a + 68

818 tickets were sold in total so

2a + 68 = 818

2a = 750

a = 750/2 = 375 adult tickets sold

Answer:

443

Step-by-step explanation:

So, what we basically know is the total number of tickets for adults and students altogether. In order to start this problem itself, it will require a subtraction.

So,

That's gonna be,

818 - 68= 750

For me, personally, I have a method that works for every question similar to this one. The concept is kinda weird ,yeah but it applies to all types of questions like this one.

It is

More than= Sub-add or Subadd

So, it's gonna be

this,

818 - 68= 750

750÷ 2 = 375

Number of tickets for adults will be= 375 + 68= 443
