30% =
30100 =
310Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 16
=
75100 x 16
= $12
Total sales of tickets
= 112 u + 36 u
= 148 u
148 u = 14060
1 u = 14060 ÷ 148 = 95
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 7 u
= 7 x 95
= 665
Answer(s): 665
