25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 32
=
50100 x 32
= $16
Total sales of tickets
= 96 u + 32 u
= 128 u
128 u = 8320
1 u = 8320 ÷ 128 = 65
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 2 u
= 2 x 65
= 130
Answer(s): 130
