15Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Price of each child ticket
= 60% x 40
=
60100 x 40
= $24
Total sales of tickets
= 160 u + 24 u
= 184 u
184 u = 12328
1 u = 12328 ÷ 184 = 67
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 67
= 67
Answer(s): 67
