310Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 28
=
50100 x 28
= $14
Total sales of tickets
= 196 u + 42 u
= 238 u
238 u = 16422
1 u = 16422 ÷ 238 = 69
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 69
= 207
Answer(s): 207
