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 35
=
60100 x 35
= $21
Total sales of tickets
= 315 u + 21 u
= 336 u
336 u = 20160
1 u = 20160 ÷ 336 = 60
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 60
= 60
Answer(s): 60
