Answer:

There were sold 130 adult tickets.

Explanation:

In order to solve the present question, an equation must be posed. Thus, 520 tickets were sold, both adult and student, and the number of student tickets sold was 3 times greater than the number of adult tickets sold. Thus, the proposed equation is the following:

X (adult tickets sold) + 3X (student tickets sold) = 520

X + 3X = 520

4X = 520

X = 520/4

X = 130

Therefore, 130 adult tickets and 390 (130 x 3) student tickets were sold.
