A total of 348 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?

lets say y is number of adult tickets and x is number of student tickets x+y=348 2x+y=348 (2x since I know that the student tickets are twice as much as adult tickets) I now know that that student tickets make up 2/3 of the total number of tickets and 1/3 make up the number of adults tickets. So... 1/3 x 348= 116 adult tickets 2/3 x 348=232 student tickets

Let Student tickets be S,Let Adult tickets be A.S = 2A

total S+A = 348

       (2A) +A =348

      3A = 348

devide both sides by 3

       A = 116

    now S = 2 * 116 

      S = 232
