Answer:
88 adult tickets and 77 student tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adult tickets sold be 8x and the number of student tickets sold be 7x.
adult tickets + student tickets = 165 tickets
8x + 7x = 165
15x = 165
x = 165 ÷ 15
= 11
No. of adult tickets sold (8x) = 11 × 8
= 88
No. of student tickets sold (7x) = 11 × 7
= 77
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first divide 165 and 15 ( 8 + 7 )
165 / 15 = 11 tickets per 1 part of the ratio (if that makes sense)
then just multiply 11 times both parts of the ratio
8 x 11 = 88 adult tickets
7 x 11 = 77 student tickets
check your answer by add the tickets together if you get 165 your answer was correct
88 + 77 = 165
