110Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of each child ticket
= 60% x 25
=
60100 x 25
= $15
Total sales of tickets
= 225 u + 15 u
= 240 u
240 u = 12480
1 u = 12480 ÷ 240 = 52
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 52
= 52
Answer(s): 52
