Stacey is selling tickets to the school play. The tickets are $8 for adults and $3 for children. She sells twice as many adult tickets as children&#39;s tickets and brings in a total of $380. How many of each kind of ticket did she sell?
***
let x=number of children&#39;s tickets sold
2x=number of adult  tickets sold
3x+8*2x=380
19x=380
x=380/19=20
2x=40
number of children&#39;s tickets sold=20
number of adult  tickets sold=40</PRE>
