Last year a theater sold 245,761 tickets. Of that number, 52,669 were children's tickets. The rest of the tickets were for adults. How many adult tickets were sold
This question can be rearranged into a number problem. 245,761 tickets are mixed with children tickets and adult tickets. What we want are the adult tickets. There are 52,669 children tickets, so lets get rid of the children tickets from the pile of tickets mixed with children tickets and adult tickets. 245,761 - 52,669 = 193092 pile of adult tickets, the reason for this is because we just removed all of the children tickets from the pile and all thats left are adult tickets, so therefore there are 193092 tickets. In the end the answer is "193092 adult tickets were sold. Hope this helps.
