Problem Page A total of 500 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 50 more student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

Respuesta :

Answer: 200 adult tickets.

Step-by-step explanation: 500 ÷ 2 = 250

250 - 50 = 200

if you are still confused i can go into further detail:

because there were 50 more student tickets sold that means you would divide the total # of tickets sold to get 250 then you would subtract 50 from the adult tickets because there were 50 more student tickets than adult tickets.
