15Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 26
=
50100 x 26
= $13
Total sales of tickets
= 104 u + 13 u
= 117 u
117 u = 6435
1 u = 6435 ÷ 117 = 55
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 4 u
= 4 x 55
= 220
Answer(s): 220
