At one performance there were three times as many stundent tickets sold as adult ticlets. If there were 480 tickets sold at that performance, how much below the goal of $2,050 did ticket sales fall?

Respuesta :

Answer: There are 120 student tickets and 360 adult tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of student's ticket be 'x'

Let the number of adult ticket be '3x'

Total number of tickets = 480

So, According to question, we get that

[tex]x+3x=480\\\\4x=480\\\\x=\dfrac{480}{4}\\\\x=120[/tex]

So, there are 120 student's ticket and [tex]3x=3\times 120=360[/tex] adult's tickets.

Hence, there are 120 student tickets and 360 adult tickets.
