25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 40
=
75100 x 40
= $30
Total sales of tickets
= 120 u + 60 u
= 180 u
180 u = 10080
1 u = 10080 ÷ 180 = 56
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 3 u
= 3 x 56
= 168
Answer(s): 168
