110Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 28
=
50100 x 28
= $14
Total sales of tickets
= 252 u + 14 u
= 266 u
266 u = 14364
1 u = 14364 ÷ 266 = 54
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 54
= 54
Answer(s): 54
