110Price of each child ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each adult ticket in percent
= 100% + 40%
= 140%
Price of each adult ticket
= 140% x 25
=
140100 x 25
= $35
Total sales of tickets
= 315 u + 25 u
= 340 u
340 u = 18700
1 u = 18700 ÷ 340 = 55
Number of tickets sold
= 10 u
= 10 x 55
= 550
Answer(s): 550
