110Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of each child ticket
= 80% x 10
=
80100 x 10
= $8
Total sales of tickets
= 90 u + 8 u
= 98 u
98 u = 8134
1 u = 8134 ÷ 98 = 83
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 83
= 83
Answer(s): 83
