<PRE><B>Question 284695</B>
Tickets for a concert were sold to adults for $3 and to students for $2. If the total receipt was $824 and twice as many adult tickets as student tickets were sold then how many of each were sold?

let the number of students be x

The number of adults be 2x

2x+3*2x= 824

2x+6x=824

8x=824

x=824/8

x=103  which is the number of students

The number of adults will be 2*103= 206
