First assign your variables
Adult = x
Child = 2x
Senior = 405-3x <--- This is the total tix minus the sum of adult & child tix
Multiply each by their value
Adult = 80(x)
Child = 45(2x)
Senior = 60(405-3x)
Add together to equal total value of tickets sold
adult tickets
child tickets
senior tickets
*check*
# of tickets
$ of tickets
