25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
Price of each child ticket
= 70% x 20
=
70100 x 20
= $14
Total sales of tickets
= 60 u + 28 u
= 88 u
88 u = 6336
1 u = 6336 ÷ 88 = 72
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 2 u
= 2 x 72
= 144
