Answer:

246 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations:

Variables:

x = number of adult tickets sold

y = number of student tickets sold

There were a total of 328 tickets sold, thus:

x + y = 328

The number of student tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets sold, thus:

y = 3x

Substituting in the first equation:

x + 3x = 328

Simplifying:

4x = 328

Dividing by 4:

x = 328/4

x = 82

y = 3*82= 246

246 adult tickets were sold
