15Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 28
=
75100 x 28
= $21
Total sales of tickets
= 112 u + 21 u
= 133 u
133 u = 10906
1 u = 10906 ÷ 133 = 82
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 4 u
= 4 x 82
= 328
Answer(s): 328
