310Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 32
=
50100 x 32
= $16
Total sales of tickets
= 224 u + 48 u
= 272 u
272 u = 15232
1 u = 15232 ÷ 272 = 56
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 56
= 168
Answer(s): 168
