    There was a total of 375 tickets sold.

    The number of student tickets was 2 times the number of adult tickets.

    Let's use "x" for the number of student tickets, and "y" for adult tickets.

    x + y = 375

    But we know that x was 2 times y.

    x = 2y

    (2y) + y = 375

    3y = 375

    y = 125

    So the answer for this is:

    There were 125 adult tickets sold.
