425 tickets, if only 3 student tickets were sold... 428 total minus 3 student tickets = 425 adult tickets + 3 sold student tickets.
In the given question the equation given has only one variable and that is "x". So it is possible to find the exact value of x.
73/4 = X/8
We can write the given equation in an easier way for proper solving.
4 * X = 73 * 8
4X = 584
X = 584/4
= 146
The value of X comes out to be 146. So the options given here cannot be the correct options.
To answer you divide 45 by .40 and you get 112.5 which I think is the answer.
hope that helped.
