25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
Price of each child ticket
= 90% x 30
=
90100 x 30
= $27
Total sales of tickets
= 90 u + 54 u
= 144 u
144 u = 11088
1 u = 11088 ÷ 144 = 77
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 2 u
= 2 x 77
= 154
