30% =
30100 =
310Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 32
=
75100 x 32
= $24
Total sales of tickets
= 224 u + 72 u
= 296 u
296 u = 22200
1 u = 22200 ÷ 296 = 75
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 75
= 225
Answer(s): 225
