110Price of each child ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each adult ticket in percent
= 100% + 10%
= 110%
Price of each adult ticket
= 110% x 40
=
110100 x 40
= $44
Total sales of tickets
= 396 u + 40 u
= 436 u
436 u = 25288
1 u = 25288 ÷ 436 = 58
Number of tickets sold
= 10 u
= 10 x 58
= 580
Answer(s): 580
