    s+a=512

    s=3a

    3a+a=512

    4a=512

    a=128

    s=384

    128 adult tickets were sold.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can form an equation using the information we have, let x be the number of adult tickets sold:

    3x + x = 512

    4x = 512

    x = 128

    x is the number of adult tickets sold as the number of student tickets was three times more so the 3x was the student tickets.

    So 128 adult tickets were sold.
