10% =
10100 =
110Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 36
=
75100 x 36
= $27
Total sales of tickets
= 324 u + 27 u
= 351 u
351 u = 24570
1 u = 24570 ÷ 351 = 70
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 70
= 70
Answer(s): 70
