110Price of each child ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each adult ticket in percent
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
Price of each adult ticket
= 125% x 36
=
125100 x 36
= $45
Total sales of tickets
= 405 u + 36 u
= 441 u
441 u = 27783
1 u = 27783 ÷ 441 = 63
Number of tickets sold
= 10 u
= 10 x 63
= 630
Answer(s): 630
