15Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 40
=
75100 x 40
= $30
Total sales of tickets
= 160 u + 30 u
= 190 u
190 u = 17860
1 u = 17860 ÷ 190 = 94
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 94
= 94
Answer(s): 94
