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 22
=
50100 x 22
= $11
Total sales of tickets
= 198 u + 11 u
= 209 u
209 u = 13794
1 u = 13794 ÷ 209 = 66
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 66
= 66
Answer(s): 66
