A total of 598 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 52 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

325 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we'll have to use an equation.

Let's use x for adult tickets and y for student tickets.

We know that 598 = x + y

We also know that x - 52 = y

So, let's replace y in the original equation with the expression x - 52

598 = x + (x - 52)

Now we need to isolate the x variable to find the amount of adult tickets sold.

598 = x + x - 52

Combine like terms:  598 = 2x - 52

Add 52 to both sides to isolate the 2x:  650 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x:  325 = x

325 adult tickets were sold.

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540
