    I believe it is 128. I may be wrong but if there are 384 tickets sold and there were 2 times more student tickets sold than adult then there are 128 tickets lift over to be adult tickets

    Let x be the number of adult tickets sold, such that 2x is the number of student tickets sold.

    2x + x = 384, since the number of adult and student tickets add up to the total number of tickets.

    3x = 384

    x = 128

    So, there are 128 adult tickets, leaving 256 student tickets sold.
