310Price of each child ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each adult ticket in percent
= 100% + 50%
= 150%
Price of each adult ticket
= 150% x 34
=
150100 x 34
= $51
Total sales of tickets
= 357 u + 102 u
= 459 u
459 u = 32130
1 u = 32130 ÷ 459 = 70
Number of tickets sold
= 10 u
= 10 x 70
= 700
Answer(s): 700
