25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of each child ticket
= 80% x 30
=
80100 x 30
= $24
Total sales of tickets
= 90 u + 48 u
= 138 u
138 u = 13386
1 u = 13386 ÷ 138 = 97
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 2 u
= 2 x 97
= 194
