15Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of each child ticket
= 80% x 35
=
80100 x 35
= $28
Total sales of tickets
= 140 u + 28 u
= 168 u
168 u = 12936
1 u = 12936 ÷ 168 = 77
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 4 u
= 4 x 77
= 308
