Hi, already Posted

Let x represent the number of student tickets

****Adult tickets (x+100) and tickets for children (x/4)

1000 = x + (x+100) + x/4

4000 = 4x + 4(x+100) + x

4000 = 4x + 4x + 400 + x

4000 = 9x + 400

3600 = 9x

400 = x, the number of student tickets, 500 adult and 100 children tickets

CHECKING our Answer

400 + 500 + 100 = 1000 tickets
