Given that :- total of 273 tickets were sold for the school play in which adults and students are involved.

now, according to the question, the number of student tickets sold was two times the number of adult tickets sold

find:- How many adult tickets were sold=?

let the tickets of adults be x then tickets of students be 2x

now total tickets=adults ticket+ students ticket

273=x+2x

273=3x

273/3=x

x=91 (tickets of adult)
