25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of each child ticket
= 80% x 20
=
80100 x 20
= $16
Total sales of tickets
= 60 u + 32 u
= 92 u
92 u = 6072
1 u = 6072 ÷ 92 = 66
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 2 u
= 2 x 66
= 132
