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 20
=
50100 x 20
= $10
Total sales of tickets
= 140 u + 30 u
= 170 u
170 u = 13940
1 u = 13940 ÷ 170 = 82
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 82
= 246
