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 22
=
50100 x 22
= $11
Total sales of tickets
= 154 u + 33 u
= 187 u
187 u = 17765
1 u = 17765 ÷ 187 = 95
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 95
= 285
Answer(s): 285
