A theater sells adult tickets and student tickets. A total of 120 tickets are sold and the ratio of adult tickets sold to student tickets sold is 6 to 4. How many of each type of ticket are sold

Answer 1

A + S = 120

A/S = 6/4

6S =4A

4A =6S

A =6S/4 = 3S/2

3S/2 +S = 120

5S/2 = 120

S = (2/5)120 = 240/5 = 48 student tickets

A = 120-48 = 72 adult tickets
