To find the number of adult tickets sold, we need to determine the ratio of adult tickets to student tickets and use it to calculate the number of adult tickets.

Given that the ratio of adult tickets sold to student tickets sold is 3:5, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of adult tickets.

Let "x" represent the number of adult tickets sold. The number of student tickets sold is given as 65.

So, "x" is to 65 as 3 is to 5, or written as a proportion: x/65 = 3/5.

To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply and then divide:

x = (65 * 3) / 5

x = 39

Therefore, 39 adult tickets were sold.
