15Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 20
=
75100 x 20
= $15
Total sales of tickets
= 80 u + 15 u
= 95 u
95 u = 7125
1 u = 7125 ÷ 95 = 75
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 4 u
= 4 x 75
= 300
Answer(s): 300
