110Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 30
=
50100 x 30
= $15
Total sales of tickets
= 270 u + 15 u
= 285 u
285 u = 25365
1 u = 25365 ÷ 285 = 89
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 9 u
= 9 x 89
= 801
Answer(s): 801
