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 25
=
80100 x 25
= $20
Total sales of tickets
= 75 u + 40 u
= 115 u
115 u = 10810
1 u = 10810 ÷ 115 = 94
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 2 u
= 2 x 94
= 188
Answer(s): 188
