310Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 36
=
50100 x 36
= $18
Total sales of tickets
= 252 u + 54 u
= 306 u
306 u = 29070
1 u = 29070 ÷ 306 = 95
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 7 u
= 7 x 95
= 665
Answer(s): 665
