Answer: Adult tickets were sold = 325
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, A = Number of adult tickets sold
S = Number of student tickets sold
Total number of tickets=599
Therefore:
A + S = 599
If, there were 51 fewer student tickets sold them adult tickets.
Since,
S=A-51
So, substitute A-51 for the value of the first equation.
A+S=599
A+(A-51)=599
Expanding to get:
2A-51=599
Solve to get:
2A=599+512
A=650A
A=325
So, A=325 adult tickets were sold.
