Answer: 114 adult tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let student tickets be represented as 2t (since twice the amount of student tickets were sold)
and let t represent the amount of adult tickets.
Solve for t (number of tickets)
342= 2t + t. Combine like terms.
342= 3t. Divide both sides by 3.
114=t
114 adult tickets were sold.
Substitute 114 for t to find student tickets.
2(114)= 228 student tickets were sold.
