40% =
40100 =
25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 40
=
75100 x 40
= $30
Total sales of tickets
= 120 u + 60 u
= 180 u
180 u = 10620
1 u = 10620 ÷ 180 = 59
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 2 u
= 2 x 59
= 118
Answer(s): 118
