Question 985266: A theatre sold 300 tickets to a special benefit performance. The tickets prices were $4 for children and $6 for adults. If three times as many adults attended as children, how many adults attended?

Let x be the number of children attended. Then the number of adult attended is 3x, according to the condition.
Then you have an equation
x + 3x = 300.
Solve it:
4x = 300,
x = = 75.
Thus 75 children were in attendance and 3*75 = 225 adults.
Info about the ticket prices is not used. It is non necessary. It is not needed.
