15Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of each child ticket
= 80% x 40
=
80100 x 40
= $32
Total sales of tickets
= 160 u + 32 u
= 192 u
192 u = 19200
1 u = 19200 ÷ 192 = 100
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 100
= 100
Answer(s): 100
