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 8
=
50100 x 8
= $4
Total sales of tickets
= 56 u + 12 u
= 68 u
68 u = 4624
1 u = 4624 ÷ 68 = 68
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 68
= 204
