310Price of each child ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each adult ticket in percent
= 100% + 50%
= 150%
Price of each adult ticket
= 150% x 32
=
150100 x 32
= $48
Total sales of tickets
= 336 u + 96 u
= 432 u
432 u = 28944
1 u = 28944 ÷ 432 = 67
Number of tickets sold
= 10 u
= 10 x 67
= 670
Answer(s): 670
